[Bf-committers] Restoring 2.49 Feature: Groups in Add menu

[Brecht Van Lommel]

Probably the place would be
release/scripts/startup/bl_operators/object.py or a new group.py.

However there is already a "Group Instance" item in the Add menu? So I
guess this is about the feature of adding groups from other libraries
directly form the menu. This was part of a bigger change that also
added library linking functionality to the outliner. Probably that
could be implemented as a python addon, but for best integration
that's really a bigger feature that needs to be implemented in C.
