Another way to handle different capabilities is to create a directory
containing files corresponding to each capability. (Isn't there
something like this in the latest Unixes?)

That way, things like shells can test them as easily as programs.

	/etc/capabilities/symlinks
	/etc/capabilities/longnames     (containing the number of characters)
	/etc/capabilities/cpp           (containing the path for cpp)
	/etc/capabilities/termcap       (containing the library path)
	/etc/capabilities/terminfo      (containing the library path)
	/etc/capabilities/coff

And the possibilities are, unfortunately, endless. :-)
