Hi Michael. I've gone a few rounds with avahi on OpenWRT. The version of avahi that comes with Backfire is 0.6.25 which has some bugs, especially w.r.t. dynamic publishing and browsing. Version 0.2.8 seems to fix those bugs. I updated the OpenWRT package recently to avahi 0.6.28, and it was accepted, but it hasn't been backported to Backfire (actually I forgot to ask), but you'll find it on their SVN server.
The current and upcoming avahi packages don't allow packagin up the avahi-client or the avahi utilities, and they don't compile in support for D-BUS into libavahi, which is needed both by the client library and by the utilities. This means that you can only make a static service announcement by putting an appropriate service description in /etc/avahi/service/, (though I guess you could always tell the avahi-daemon to reconsult the service directory whenever you changed it). If you want to be able to publish or browse truly dynamically, then you do need the avahi-client library and (or possibly the command-line program avahi-publish, contained in the avahi utilities.) I do have a further update giving access to the avahi-client libraries, the avahi utilities and, of course, D-BUS support. I'm still checking it. It allows you to ask for the avahi-client library and the utilities package, and compiles in support for D-BUS if necessary. It seems to work well and I hope will be a replacement for the current OpenWRT avahi Package. If you'd like it, I can certainly send it to you. Obviously it needs to have D-BUS support included in OpenWRT. I don't know anything about libdns_sd, I'm afraid.
