-------------------------+----------------------------
 I wanted a way to get the readcap of a directory created with {{{tahoe
 create-alias}}} without having to resort to the welcome page.
 zooko suggested {{{tahoe debug dump-cap}}} and some hand-crafting, which
 is doable but quite ugly.

 Here is a patch against current master to add a {{{tahoe show-caps}}}
 command which will list whatever capabilities the GET?t=json API gives.

 Because I have only superficial knowledge of the software architecture and
 given that tahoe_showcaps.py is pretty much a modified version of
 tahoe_ls.py, feel free to criticize and suggest.
