I believe, without changing any of the GTK+ source, you could simulate
this pretty easily.

For each line that belongs in a group, as you add it to the clist, set
the data item to a group id. For instance, each of the lines in your
example above would have their data set to 1, for group id 1.

Now, catch all of the selection signals, and when a selection occurs,
grab the group id of the selected item, and iterate over the clist
selecting any item with the same group id.

It's a little tricky in some cases, but I think not too difficult.
