It's in the cover letter, rather vaguely. I think I want to change
the setpriv syntax a bit before sending it upstream, though -- it's
sucks that you have to duplicate the option.

Perhaps the ambient-caps option should implicitly raise inheritable
caps if they're not already raised. Or maybe the absence of an
inh-caps rule should cause any requested ambient caps to be made
inheritable as well.
