Hello. I am OK to develop a general wrapper on top of Avahi and Bonjour (perhaps Howl too ?).
I think it is a better idea than the Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi is not efficient as native one API. A wrapper can probably implement all common (and usefull) features and anyone who want to use very specific feature can use specific wxDNSSD or wxAvahi lib. Regards.
