Created an attachment (id=2229)

create stapusr and stapdev groups if they don't exist

Adding it to the normal build process rather than %post would make sense for
users who'd want to locally build and install systemtap.

How about this totally untested patch to create the stapdev and stapusr groups
at install time. I am not too familiar with fiddling with Makefiles, but again,
something akin to what this does would be good. (The script snippet is adapted
from Tom Callaway's RPM packaging guidelines handout from Foss.in/2007).
