The best way to deal with Caps Lock is to make it a Control Key when used as a modifier (held down when another key is pressed), but Escape when typed by itself. There's a program for GNU/Linux called xscape that does exactly that.

That sounds great! I am trying it right now...

FYI it's here: https://github.com/alols/xcape

You should be able to do that with only XKB, but Xorg XKB seems somewhat buggy and the documentation is scattered, so you'd have a bit of work ahead of you.
