The situation is really no different in post-NT4 compared to NT4.

The systems may be called on to show what constitutes a group, or
what group(s) are given specific grants, but not to invert the inquery
and show all grants given to a specific group.

For that, given that you are not in a position to do the right thing
and address this with design, implementation practices, and change
control (i.e. with doc capture/update), you are in a position where
you need to recurse over all (likely first) securable objects in order
to start to answer your question. AD objs/attribs, NTFS, reg, COM+,
user rights, etc. does not matter, you will have to enumerate over them
and correlate the grants (or buy a product)
