...no, sorry, i'm a very little PHP programmer, the complexity of phpgw
are too for my time... but i've clear that these 2 things have to be
done, at least:

1) separate the numberspace of group from the numberspace of user, so
as in normal unix world could exist an use with uid=1001 and a group
with gid=1001.

2) use the standard LDAP membership (via memberUid field in group) to
track membership, not the acl method

2b) add a concept of ``default/main group'' for a user.


these are well known unix concept, i think there's no need to explain.
Think as storing the phpgw user in /etc/(passwd|group) files, there's
no big differences. ;)
