I assume there are currently no GUI clients that will be able to use this. So this should be implemented compatibly both in server core and clients. What services should be advertised - gui port and web ui?

Unfortunatly it doesn't appear that there are any Ocaml bindings for Avahi (http://www.avahi.org/) or D-BUS which is used for comuincation with the Avahi daemon.

[field #10]                  Summary: Advertise MLdonkey server core via Zeroconf (aka Bonjour AKA Rendezvous AKA mDNS)
[field #11]      Original Submission: It would be nice if the MLdonkey server core had the ability to announce itself on the local network via Zeroconf.  This would make unbelievably easy for UIs with matching capabilities to find availiale servers on the local net without having to know what IP it is located at.
