Do you think this will need to be extended in the future?  As
'qemu-traditional' goes by way of the Dodo, this won't be needed right?

I think this could be made quite a bit simpler with something like

#define LIBXL_EMULATOR_TRADITIONAL_PATH LIBDIR "/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
#define LIBXL_EMULATOR_UPSTREAM_PATH LIBDIR "/xen/bin/qemu-sytstem-i386"

and then just add the emulators here.  E.g.

if (virFileExists(LIBXL_EMULATOR_TRADITIONAL_PATH) {
    if (virCapabilitiesAddGuestDomain(guest,
                                      "xen",
                                      LIBXL_EMULATOR_TRADITIONAL_PATH
                                      (guest_archs[i].hvm ?
                                      "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" :
                                      NULL),
                                      0,
                                      NULL) == NULL)
        goto no_memory;
}
if (virFileExists(LIBXL_EMULATOR_UPSTREAM_PATH) {
    if (virCapabilitiesAddGuestDomain(guest,
                                      "xen",
                                      LIBXL_EMULATOR_UPSTREAM_PATH
                                      (guest_archs[i].hvm ?
                                      "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" :
                                      NULL),
                                      0,
                                      NULL) == NULL)
        goto no_memory;
}
