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.

#!/bin/bash

    cat <<EOF 
This program calls purple API functions using DBus.  As opposed to purple-send, 
it does not print the return value.

Usage:

   $0 method-name type1:parameter1 type2:parameter2 ...

This shell script just invokes dbus-send, see man dbus-send for how 
to specify the parameters.  

Examples:

   $0 PurpleCoreQuit

Use dbus-viewer to get the list of supported functions and their parameters.

    exit 1
