While most operating systems use root:*root* for ownership of *system* files, 
AIX uses system as the group by default.  Thus, in many manifests, I have to 
insert a case statement to figure out the group for the root user.  This is 
obviously done by a simple fact.  This could be a default fact, as it may have 
uses in other operating systems, such as BSD and derivatives that use* wheel* 
as the default root group. 

I realize this probably more of a 'nice to have' feature, but it's not very 
difficult to implement, and would allow manifests to be cleaner, rather than 
having a switch or case statement.
