Strangely enough I didn't hit this problem when building on Cygwin, and 
I'm pretty sure they don't have avahi?

My only reservation is what happens if mdns_* configuration is in 
libvirtd.conf, but there is no support in the binary.  Should we print 
out an error message or a warning?

General principles though +1

Rich.
