If you loook at src/qemu_conf.c, you'll find a nice method called
qemudExtractVersionInfo, which runs 'qemu -help' and checks for
certain interesting command line arguments :-)
That problem does seem to be crying for some type
of structured interface to avoid subtle breakage
should someone modify the output of "--help".
I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here.

So it now adapts for the cases of old syntax and
"writethrough" as well as new syntax and "on"
since qemu will otherwise balk at those cache
flag / version combinations.
One note about the enums - rather than adding old style CACHEON
CACHE_OFF options to the main enum in domain_conf, just create
a second enum in the qemu_conf.c file for recording the mapping
of virDomainDiskCache values to old style QEMU arguments values..
As we are adapting in both directions I left the
single enum representing the entire option list
to simplify things. Updated patch is attached.
