Hi,

I needed to apply the following two small changes to get it compile.

On my system (Ubuntu 9.04) I don't have a sys/capability.h header, but
a linux/capability.h header as part of the linux-libc-dev package.

The second change makes the code compile with -Werror, because vmDef
is not used in the lxcContainerDropCapabilities function.
