Yes & no. Technically you are correct that the capabilities XML is
readonly, however, when using the test driver in libvirt, it is
possible to pass a custom XML document fully describing the capabilities
that the test driver should return. Thus it is useful to have setters
in the GVirConfigCapabilities  class
