I looked at adding a Avahi wrapper to pyzmq back in February/March,
but then was distracted so never completely finished the work. I've
attached what I had done in case anyone finds it useful. iirc Avahi
doesn't allow for discovering services that are published on the same
host (which may have been why I abandoned it). The code hasn't seen
much love for a long time and is a bit rough around the edges - sorry
about that, I hope someone finds it useful none the less.
