Is there already some start available for the Avahi support? I know that 
there is the Red Hat patch for the dnssd backend, but is there already a 
start for the CUPS daemon? Mike did you already work on it in 1.5? Tim, 
did you already start to work on the 1.4 CUPS daemon? Is there already 
available code?
