I've also had to do this before. I resort back to findAll for GROUP
BY. I would just do a "1=1 GROUP BY...". Today i've run into a similar
problem by having to use a HAVING and GROUP_CONCAT. It's much easier
to use custom queries for this, as long as you clean your own data.

I also wish to know how to do this without breaking cake conventions.
