Here we made a custom perl script using Net::LDAP and perl API to add
people to their groups in RT. I don't think it would be usefull to give
you my script, because it's spevific to our system, but if you are
somewhat familiar with perl, it would not be too hard to write one (look
at html/Admin/Groups/Members.html to have example of perl groups API
usage, and of course to lib/RT/Group*).
