I changed this behavior. Links are now removed from the group if
either the source or the destination of the link is removed.

The discover script should work fine if most of your machines report
variable subnet masks via ICMP. Everything else requires to do some
SNMP probing. I hacked the discover script to check for SNMP devices
(by using the community public) but I currently do not make use of it.
So there is still some work left to be done..
