Created an attachment (id=48785)
 --> (http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=48785)
(Perhaps broken) patch to check for which group to change kdesud to

I tried giving it a go at a proper CMake-style porting of the configure.in.in
(which just looks for nogroup, nobody, or gives up and manually uses a group of
65534). It even allows the user to change the group name manually. BUT the
CMake install isn't actually expanding my new KDESUD_GROUP setting from what I
can tell, because the final chgrp command is getting executed like "chgrp ''
'/path/to/kdesud'" (where the KDESUD_GROUP is being expanded to nothing, the
single quotes are in the command line). The entry is definitely making it into
the cache though.

Maybe someone else can figure out why this patch doesn't actually work?
