This utility node takes a poly mesh as input, creates a named
collection of components, and outputs the resulting mesh. The list
of elements is stored in the elemList array, which stores
components of the type specified by groupType. groupType can be
vertex, face, edge or uvmap.
This node has special meaning to polyModifier nodes. Most
polyModifier nodes which act on components use makeGroup nodes with
the current group specifier (TDI_GGRP_CURRENT - the default) to
determine which components to act upon.
