[STR New]

In Linux avahi is the most common software for DNS-SD support. CUPS uses
another, incompatible API (dns_sd.h, libdnssd.so). There is a
compatibility layer in avahi (libavahi-compat-libdnssd1) but this API also
does not match the API required by CUPS. Attached is the patch which got
created at Fedora (probably from Tim Waugh) which makes CUPS accepting two
APIs, once the API which it supports already (with HAVE_DNSSD) and second,
the native API of avahi (HAVE_AVAHI). This way I succeeded to build CUPS
with DNS-SD support for Ubuntu.
