This should probably update the installation guide to note the new
optional library dependency.
Since capabilities are a security feature, like SSL, I think that we
should handle libcapng like we do OpenSSL, e.g.:
- no option: use libcapng if it's present
- --disable-libcapng: do not use libcapng
- --enable-libcapng: do use libcapng and fail configuration if
it's missing
See OVS_CHECK_OPENSSL for the details.
Please add m4 quoting here:
AC_CHECK_LIB(cap-ng, capng_clear, HAVE_LIBCAPNG=yes)
e.g.:
AC_CHECK_LIB([cap-ng], [capng_clear], [HAVE_LIBCAPNG=yes])
Thanks,
Ben.
