Now, while these things are named POSIX capabilities, they are
they are about as far away from standardization as can be.

I know of 3 different implementations, none of which are compatible:

Linux: capabilities(7)
Solaris: privileges(5) -- while this offers much more fine-grained sets,
but we'll only need the equivalents of Linux Capabilities: BASIC + 
PRIV_NET_PRIVADDR
FreeBSD: posix1e(3) - capabilities are still being worked on and are in the 
begging stage of being merged to -CURRENT

We should use this chance to generalize the existing interface so that
we can cater all (three, six, seventeen -- however many different interfaces 
pop up
until the new - incompatible with everything existing POSIX 1003.1-2008 is 
adopted).
