 This will be required in platforms with telepathy-gabble 0.9.

 {{{
 (07:03:34 PM) Robot101: tomeu: we realised that we advertised the file
 transfer ability always, even when there was no client who said they could
 do it, which is a bug on eg N900 which has no file transfer UI - the files
 go there and time out...
 (07:03:59 PM) Robot101: tomeu: so we need to just do a quick hack in p-s
 to set the capabilities on the new API if its there, to say we can do file
 transfer
 (07:04:15 PM) Robot101: we're not recommending it atm but we should fix it
 up in sugar asap so we don't need a hack mode in 0.9
 (07:04:37 PM) Robot101: in 0.8 we've got a hack for the N900 which turns
 off the internal assumed file transfer capability
 (07:04:48 PM) Robot101: but that hack would break Sugar or Empathy 2.28.x
