Actually, I'm not sure I really can figure out the difference between v1 and v2 -- it still seems to refer to the same thing.  Can you show me the two packages on RHEL6?  I only see one.

libcap-ng is completely unrelated, I think.  It has an API that's less prickly - but I'd rather use the more basic API as it seems libcap (maintained at kernel.org) is more widely found.
