It's global for now.  There's not a lot of saved state per group yet with
the new version.  From Charles' comments, I /had/ figured there'd be none
(except for post tracking, of course) until post-1.0, but he got at least
a minimal working set in there now, including posting profile and save
dir.  I seriously doubt anything more will be added there until post 1.0,
which with luck will be later this month.

I see you're able to do patches.  I'm sure Charles wouldn't object, but I
still doubt it'd be added until post-1.0, as we are in what amounts to a
feature freeze at this point.  A patch might well ensure it's in the first
1.0.90 (or 900, don't know which) series pre-1.1 betas, however. =8^). 
Assuming a couple 1.0.x bugfix releases and that the August target for 1.0
is met, you are then looking at mid Septemberish.
