Well.... never speak too early, I looked at the source and it seemed
like an easy fix... but i didn't realize it would me giving
RBGroupSource access to RBLibrary->priv->db so... no patch from me, but
maybe someone with more experience in the code base can take a look...

the main problem is that RBGroupSource has no was to query all_artists
or all_albums in its group, and i'm not entirely sure how to do this
short of making the group a mini library would seems like it would be
too much over head... maybe i'm wrong here. Any ways, hacking on this
i've gotten way over my head in terms of knowledge of the codebase

I'll shoot for a smaller bug next time :)
