 Using the QGis API it is possible to add layers to the currently opened
 project using the function addMapLayer() of the QgsMapLayerRegistry class.
 Within the GUI it is further possible to add groups to the legend (Right-
 click on legend area & *Add group*) that can hold a number of layers. Can
 this function be exposed to the API? So that new layer groups can be
 created and/or deleted and new layers can be added to already existing
 groups etc. That would help programming users to keep a clear project
 structure.
