Yes I understand your point. However, setting TODO for each category
manually would be laborious in my situation, I have to adjust the
configuration file each time I add/delete the project.

For my implementation, I advice on function 'org-agenda-finalize-entries'
to put lists into different groups, limit them and add separator after the
line '(setq list (mapcar 'org-agenda-highlight-todo list))'

There's a 'org-agenda-before-sorting-filter-function' variable. However,
I'm not able to use it for grouping things, because it's used as '(mapcar
org-agenda-before-sorting-filter-function list)'

Would it be useful to add another function here, not used in 'mapcar', but
work directly on the whole list? I don't know whether it is worthy, and I'm
OK if that's not general enough to be added, because I can use defadvice
anyway :)
