capget/capset in Linux 2.2 and glibc

Linux 2.2 has now initial capabilities support using the functions
capget and capset.  The kernel include file is <linux/capability.h>.

So far there's no glibc support for capabilities.  Shouldn't we add
this?  Or has something like this done already or decided how to do
it?
