Avahi/Zeroconf is a protocol which allows arbitrary nodes that have no foreknowledge of one another to find and interact with one another on a network. It was originally designed to make it easy to locate printers, media machines, and other services but can be extended to cover arbitary services (such as SSH or IRC).

We need to work up a set of Avahi configuration files to announce the presence of various services running on the nodes that comprise a Byzantium mesh, i.e., IRC, WWW, Etherpad-Lite, FTP, et al.
