[coreutils] Install enhancement request: capabilities

[Yaron Sheffer]

Hi,

Posix capabilities have been in the kernel for some time, but userspace 
support is lagging. "Install" is one such missing piece.


I suggest to add a "--capability" flag, with syntax taken from setcap. E.g.:


sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /bin/ping


would become


(sudo) install --capability cap_net_raw+ep ping /bin/ping


Thanks,

    Yaron
