Add support for configurable Unix group to be used - basically, users

must be a member of this group in order to use Wicd.  Note that this
  does not apply on systems configured to use ConsoleKit/PAM/et al.
This defaults to use the "users" group so that it will work "out of the
  box" for most people, but distributions are encouraged to edit it
  as needed with the "--wicdgroup=whatever" configure argument.
