[lxc-devel] No libcap.a on Fedora and derived distros

Hi,

I ran into a bit of a problem building master:
Fedora (and derived distro's such as CentOs, Oracle, RHEL) don't ship
with a static lib for libcap, which is needed to build init.lxc.static
(commit 2d4b3e3d). Apparently [1] Fedora doesn't intend to ship one, thus
there isn't a libcap-static. Any ideas of how we want to proceed here?
I guess we can just not build it and it won't be available on these
distros?
