Syntax Highlighting Minor Groups

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to highlight specific portions of the syntax.
Take a look at this (taken from the vim documentation):

*Statement any statement
Conditional if, then, else, endif, switch, etc.
Repeat for, do, while, etc.
Label case, default, etc.
Operator "sizeof", "+", "*", etc.
Keyword any other keyword
Exception try, catch, throw

We can do syntax highlighting for the Statement syntax by doing the
following in vimrc:

hi Statement gui=none guifg=Red

That command will apply highlighting to all the minor groups as well
(conditional, repeat, etc.)

Is it possible to apply highlighting to a specific group (conditional,
repeat, label, etc), rather than the major group (statement)?

I tried doing pattern matching but that takes way too much work...
