Thanks for the input, but I don't think it's quite that clear-cut and
I don't have a good answer. There should be some way to access
capabilities without needing an ugly library which allocates dynamic
memory to report the current capability set (yes, libcap is THAT bad),
but the sys/capabilities.h interfaces are also a complete mess...
