annotate PLUGIN_HOWTO @ 17495:d7b50cac1c7a

This is a patch from Chris Davies to make Bonjour work on Windows using the Apple Bonjour framework. It turns out that the actual DNS-SD library is (3 clause) BSD licensed, so we can use it. There are a few changes by me, mainly to fix the howl implementation. Fixes #1117 . There appear to be a few bugs, but I believe that they were also present previously. I'm hoping to do some more tweaking before the next release. The howl implementation will eventually be supersceded by a native avahi implementation, so I opted for a somewhat dirty hack to enable it instead of doing something with config.h.
