All the IP manipulation functions are in Util.pm and can be found with
function names beginning with "IP_". The IP_IntToDQ (Integer to dotted-quad)
function is probably what your looking for.
You can use the label field.. I dont see it going away any time soon.
I wouldn't mind putting it in the contrib directory at all once it is
complete.. you could also look into writing as a module (the module
documentation should be online soon)

What browser and version of Java are you using?

View.pm contains all the view functions and should be a good place to start.
Maybe and easier way to do it would be just just a view 'groups' table and
set the first group to include all views by default.. then you could create a
group on demand and add whichever views you wanted to it... what do you
think?
