The mdns patch for Zope

People asked for it. This is about the simplest version of the thing I could come up with but you will need the Avahi and DBUS Python bindings up and running. After that this patch should apply to the Zope 2.8/2.9 releases pretty easily.

Then you just restart Zope and you should see these services on your network.
