I'm having an off day.  I was doing some group checks, and saw groups in WebGUI that I've never seen before.  Does anyone know their history?

1. mysql> select groupId, showInForms, groupName from groups;
2. +------------------------+-------------+------------------------+
3. | groupId                | showInForms | groupName              |
4. +------------------------+-------------+------------------------+

Just the ones with 22-character IDs _and_ groupNames.  If you grep or ack through the code you find them added in create.sql and previousVersion.sql, but you won't find them used anywhere.

If you modify your query a little you'll see what they are for:
select groupId,groupName,description from groups;

WebGUI dynamically creates hidden groups for things like subscriptions.  We should probably make it use more descriptive names, but they're hidden so they don't usually cause too much harm.
