Adding this to the posix module would enforce linking with lcap and lattr always. The development headers for these are not installed by default on some distributions.

I think it would be better if they are added to a separate module (especially since all the functions are prefixed with cap_, it is like they are in their own namespace) which means that the module is optional for people that don't have/want to build the functionality.

What are your thoughts?
