  Description     : Utilities and libraries for starting CloudABI programs

CloudABI is a Unix-like runtime environment that is purely built on the
concept of capability-based security. By using capability-based
security, applications become easier to test and reuse (due to its
similarity to dependency injection). It also makes applications more
secure, as processes only start up with a restricted set of rights.

The cloudabi-utils package provides two things:

1. libcloudabi: Native Linux versions of some of the APIs that are
   normally only available inside of CloudABI. More specifically, it
   provides ports of the functions that you normally call to launch
   CloudABI processes.

2. cloudabi-run: This utility uses libcloudabi to spawn CloudABI
   processes, providing it access to resources specified in a YAML
   configuration file.

#814430 was closed with the hint that CloudABI became unmaintained,
and thus probably goes nowhere. Closing the two bugs here too.
