Dear Tim-san,

How do you do? I am Hiroshi Takenaka. I've become a new comer of this NG
because I'd like to know the avahi support of CUPS.

Helge-san kindly let me know you and these articles today.

Now I can build and use cups-1.4.5 and I need (wish) its avahi support.

Would you please advise me about where and how I get your patches and
give me some instructions to use them if you think I need your advice ?

Sincerely yours,
Hiroshi TAKENAKA.
