os.setgroups is still found in the docs.

Any good reason why it's removed, or has it been moved?

strange. the conftest.c fails at configure time, because it
needs the grp.h header, but only the unistd.h header gets
included in the test. the configure test in python2.2
succeeds on the same (glibc-2.3.1) system.
