Ok, I've lobotomized libcaps so it compiles again. Now the four
CAPS test programs in /usr/src/test/caps will compile and run.
The most interesting thing about libcaps are the caps_* files.
These contain test code to portably encode and decode system structures.
The programs in /usr/src/test/caps are as follows:
caps_e Encode portable password entry demonstration.
'/tmp/caps_e root'
caps_d Decode portable password entry demonstration.
/tmp/caps_e root | /tmp/caps_d
caps_s CAPS server demonstration
caps_c CAPS client demonstration
The idea of creating a lookupd is to combine the four... have a CAPS
service that e.g. does password file lookups, and an API to access its.
