Actually, the longtable package supports captions too, and the caption
package (which allows further customization,
http://www.ctan.org/pkg/caption) explicitly supports longtable:
---------
Package support
The caption package was adapted to the following packages which deals
with captions, too:
float, floatflt, fltpage, hyperref, hypcap, listings, longtable,
picinpar, picins, rotating, setspace, sidecap, subfigure, supertabular,
threeparttable, wrapfig, and xtab
---------
99% of our tables use ordinary tables, but 1% of our tables won't fit on
a single page and require longtable. These need captions the same way
regular tables do (there's also a continuation caption on the second and
following pages of longtables). I didn't show a bunch of rows in my
example to keep it minimal; the actual table where we first noticed the
problem was just over a page in length.
