[avahi] Bonjour compat

[Sebastien Estienne]

hello celso

New apps shouldn't rely on the compatibility layers, they are sub
optimal in ressource, and doesn't implement all the bonjour/howl Api,
they were developped as a short term solution for few apps already
using howl/bonjour.

We highly encourage anyone to use the native api for performance and
stability purpose.

Hi everyone,

someone in the iFolder mailing list posted the following message.
iFolder uses the Bonjour compatibility layer when working with avahi and
I thought that cross-posting his message may help to clear out the
problem:

The relevant part, I think, is DNSServiceBrowse having a domain
assertion. IIRC, iFolder doesn't work in the .local domain hence this
problem, but I can be mistaken.

Looking forward for your feedback.

Cheers,
Celso
