yep, this would be really useful.

right now we have to do the test from cli to find out if my tag is working

(xymon)@xymon-01:~/server$ ./bin/xymoncmd xymond_alert --tests
myclient.example.net ports --group=mygrouptag

would be really nice if the info column shows who is getting alerts
for group tags.
