You can add a KSycocaDict to kservicegroupfactory. Just like e.g. m_nameDict 
in kservicefactory. 

In kbuildservicegroupfactory ::addEntry() you add the entries that you want 
to put in this dictionairy (e.g. those with a non-empty basegroup). In 
::saveHeader() you must save the offset of this dictionairy and in ::save() 
you save the dictionairy itself.

In kservicegroup you can then add a lookup function like 
KServiceFactory::findServiceByDesktopName.

Cheers,
Waldo
