The CAPA problems have now been removed from the Contrib section of the OPL (see openwebwork/webwork-open-problem-library#1277). So this is not needed anymore. Note that the `courses.dist/modelCourse/templates/setDemo/prob0837.pg` problem is already unused (it is not in the `setDemo.def` file).

The CAPA problems have now been removed from the Contrib section of the OPL (see openwebwork/webwork-open-problem-library#1277). So this is not needed anymore. Note that the files in the `macros/capa` directory were not used anyway. The webwork2 `specialPGEnvironmentVars` settings related to CAPA problems control where these files are used from, and those still were using the `Contrib/CAPA/macros` directories. We could update those, but there were files there that were not copied (they were .pg files that were actually macros and it was probably believed that they were problem files). So in short CAPA problems just will not work anymore even without this pull request.

Remove the CAPA problems from Contrib. They are out of date and have not been well maintained, and pose challenges for maintaining compatibility.
