Service is a new concept for grouping of repositories. It is very similar to 
the NU type of service known in rug in SLE10 - libzypp downloads an index of 
repositories, which can dynamically change.

This way, server admin can e.g. add new repositories to client (think e.g. of 
community repositories as a service, where you just add the service and your 
system will always have access to the best of breed repositories, or having 
a 'development' service that will track factory, then during RC phase switch 
to openSUSE 11.1 repositories and after release switch back to factory).

This code might be buggy, as it's completely new.
