 * How can I add categories to sort my custom capabilities like the built in ones
   have?

 * If you’re a developer, you can follow the code from here as an example: [https://github.com/justintadlock/members/blob/2.1/inc/functions-cap-groups.php](https://github.com/justintadlock/members/blob/2.1/inc/functions-cap-groups.php)
 * If you’re not a developer, I’m hoping to roll out a full capability manager, 
   including custom groups, at some point. I’d like to say that this will make it
   into 3.0, but I’m not 100% sure if I can squeeze it into my timeframe yet.

 * This is good enough for me, It is for a plugin I was writing anyway, so this 
   will work perfect!
