Title: Add support for mDNSPublish, from the howl zeroconf implementation.

Howl hasn't been actively developed for some years now; their website 404s,
and the Wayback Machine archive of 2008 says it's dead.[1] Yet it's still
functional and is much smaller than dbus and avahi, which makes it useful
for embedded systems. In fact, OpenWrt has not dropped support for the howl
tools, and it's because of howl that I can fit a functional shairport and
supporting libraries and kernel onto the 4MB of flash in a TP-LINK
TL-WR703N.[2]
