Fixed the rendering of groups, and groups within groups.
If groups are mixed in with other elements, then they are
drawn with a gray outline/heading, with the title taken
from the <group><about><label>. However, if a group
contains only other groups, then it is treated as a tabbed
notebook, and each group within is put on a separate page.

WARNING: There are many bad interactions between the
blt::tabset, the Rappture::Scroller, and the Rappture::Pager.
Pages shake violently when all are in play. The only way I
could get them to settle down was by putting the tabs above
the pages they control. Have to revisit this some time to
make it look better...

2#  COMPONENT: page - single page of widgets
3#
4#  This widget is a smart frame.  It takes the XML description for
5#  a Rappture <input> or an <input><phase> and decides how to lay
6#  out the widgets for the controls within it.  It uses various
7#  heuristics to achieve a decent layout under a variety of
8#  circumstances.
