[Bf-funboard] time for edge goups ?

[Janne Karhu]

You can add "child hair particle influence dividers" i.e. parting of hair  
to the list of things that would definately benefit from edge groups. The  
current implementation is so well hidden with seam-edges that I don't  
think anyone even noticed it :)

And if somebody decides to make it happen why not make face groups  
possible as well...
