Here's what I use in my xorg.conf to turn "caps-lock" into a "ctrl"
key:

    Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "keyboard-all"
        Driver "evdev"
        Option "XkbOptions"  "ctrl:nocaps,compose:ralt,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    EndSection

It also turns the right-hand ALT key into a compose key and enables
ctrl-alt-backspace as the termination sequence for the X server.
