It would be nice to have special parameter for compilation JSVC without "Capabilities" option. JSVC is compiled automatically with this option when libcap-devel package is installed. During compilation without libcap-devel package is only printed line: WARNING: cannot find headers for libcap.

For my purposes is "Capabilities" option unnecessary complication. I would appreciate to have possibility deactivate this option, e.g.: $ ./configure --without-libcap ... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
