Comment (by kevinB):

 Is the post creation capability to be governed independent of post
 editing?  If so, the admin menu for each post type will need to be
 displayed if the user has edit_posts OR create_posts.  But the current API
 only supports one required cap per menu:

 {{{
 $menu[5] = array( __('Posts'), 'edit_posts', 'edit.php', '', 'open-if-no-
 js menu-top menu-icon-post', 'menu-posts', 'div' );
 }}}


 {{{
 $menu[20] = array( __('Pages'), 'edit_pages', 'edit.php?post_type=page',
 '', 'menu-top menu-icon-page', 'menu-pages', 'div' );
 }}}


 {{{
 $menu[$ptype_menu_position] = array( esc_attr(
 $ptype_obj->labels->menu_name ), $ptype_obj->cap->edit_posts,
 "edit.php?post_type=$ptype", '', 'menu-top menu-icon-' . $ptype_class,
 'menu-posts-' . $ptype_for_id, $menu_icon );
 }}}


 {{{
 foreach ( $menu as $id => $data ) {
         if ( ! current_user_can($data[1]) )
                 $_wp_menu_nopriv[$data[2]] = true;
 }}}
