[avahi] [INFO] Google's Summer of Code is comming

>From the Gaim website:

_________________________________________________________________
Rendezvous Plugin (Juanjo Molinero Horno) - Wrote a protocol
plugin (PRPL) that communicates with Apple's iChat using the
Bonjour protocol. The Bonjour protocol uses multicast DNS to
automatically discover other Bonjour users on your local
network. The PRPL currently uses the Howl library for multicast
DNS, but we'd like to switch to using Avahi in the future. This
in CVS HEAD and will be in the next release of Gaim.

>From the NetBSD website:

_________________________________________________________________
NetBSD needs a daemon that automatically assigns IPv4 link-level
addresses. NetBSD also needs an Multicast DNS responder and a
BSD-licensed Multicast DNS library would also be desirable.

Work in progress:
http://netbsd-soc.sourceforge.net/projects/zeroconf/

_________________________________________________________________
Add multicast DNS support to NetBSD. This would add another keyword
to nsswitch.conf (mdns) and would only be valid for hosts.
