Summary: os.setgroups missing in python2.3

Initial Comment:
[forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/199839]

os.setgroups is still found in the docs.

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

This is fixed in

configure.in 1.422
configure 1.411

by including grp.h in the test.

This fails for me on redhat 9 too.

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.
