Well, in that case, you can just reuse the code that kpropertiesdialog.cpp
was using before I ported it to getgrouplist, and put that in an #ifdef.
I did that port to improve performance on systems with a huge amount of groups,
but the other implementation was good enough on standard cases (and your
fake impl would have the same performance problem anyway).

Michael's implementation is a solution too, of course; I'm just not sure we
need this in kdefakes (linked by everything) when only one place in kdelibs needs it.
