Let the client check if the daemon is already running instead of just
trying to start it, which doesn't work if there is no service file (the
service file is just meant for systems using system.d).
This fixes avahi-browse as well as "bonjour/zeroconf" support in several
applications.
Issue also pointed by Greg Jones.
Fix for CVE-2010-2244:
zero size is reported for corrupt packets. recvmsg() later could
nevertheless get data from a good packet that followed the bad one.
So get out early to avoid hitting an assertion.
Thanks to pea@ for the heads up.
* add a couple of fixes from avahi trac
* advise users to enable multicast
* kill RTM_VERSION warning as advised by claudio@
* disallow other stacks by default

Avahi is a free, standards-compliant implementation of the Zeroconf
protocols Multicast DNS and DNS-SD.
It is a system which facilitates service discovery on a local network.
This means that you can plug your laptop or computer into a network and
instantly be able to view other people who you can chat with, find
printers to print to or find files being shared. This kind of
technology is already found in Apple MacOS X (branded Rendezvous,
Bonjour and sometimes Zeroconf) and is very convenient.
Completely reworked from an old submission from jasper@
Based on FreeBSD and pkgsrc.
Some successful test from marco@, thanks ;-)
It will probably need a bit more love in the next few days.
