They are modifiable now to a certain extent.  Each coefficient has
a gain and bias term that is applied like:
actual coefficient = gain*( file coefficient ) + bias
If the coefficient is given as a table in the file, then the "file
coefficient" value above is the result of the table lookup.

These can be modified on the fly via the property tree, go to:
/fdm/jsbsim/aero/buildup/<axis>/<coeff name>

This is a very effective method for tweaking one or two coeff's.
There is currently no way to dump the gain and bias values or
rewrite the config file though so you wouldn't want tweak too
many at once.
