I'm very interested in getting ZeroConf working for GNUstep and played
around with Apple's Rendezvous, that is, the part Apple has put under
Open Source. The problem is that what is available is a stripped down
version of what Apple has actually implemented in OSX. I've got some of
it working, but since I don't have an OSX machine readily available, I
cannot really check what's missing. Eg. the "full" implementation
depends on NSNetService, that doesn't exist in GNUstep, so you'll either
implement it, or 'work around it'.

Frankly, I don't know, but that's looks likely.

Only the C++ part looks ugly ;-)
