I'd love to see this included in avahi-glib. Though a few things like
domain and record browsers would still need wrapping. (and what is
this "freeze" thing about in the entry group stuff?)

oh, and G_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED is quite useful for vaarg functions.

A while ago Davyd Madeley started a similar project which however he
stopped working on. Before we start merging your code into Avahi I'd
like to have his feedback on your work, since he is an experienced
GLib/Gtk hacker and obviously interested in this area.
