Library for Capabilities (linux-privs) Support
Capabilities are a measure to limit the omnipotence of the superuser.
Currently a program started by root or setuid root has the power to do
anything. Capabilities (Linux-Privs) provide a more fine-grained access
control. Without kernel patches, you can use this library to drop
capabilities within setuid binaries. If you use patches, this can be
done automatically by the kernel.

- update to 2.70:
* setcap changes to make it harder to set invalid file capabilities
* Lots of documentation fixes
* Fix c89 compilation syntax for the C code in the libraries
* libpam has deprecated providing the _pam_overwrite() function,
so use memset() instead

This library is problematic on current openSUSE TW, it doesn't install and when I try to build from rpm source:
Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /home/ilgaz/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/libcap-2.64-84.121.x86_64 error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /usr/lib64/security/pam_cap.so
