Window is tricky.  Right now I'm using Apple's binary library (dnssd.lib)
which excludes the use of mingw.  I think the source code for dnssd.lib
is...

http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/mDNSResponder/mDNSResponder-561.1.1/mDNSShared/

so ideally mDNSShared source could be distributed and not the binary.  2nd
problem is that either source or binary still requires Apple's print
services (or itunes) be installed.

One thought I've had is that avahi-core be ported to Windows.  The issue
with this is that two separate Qt programs could each be running there own
mDNS stack which you are not supposed to do.  The best solution for
windows is probably mDNSShared source.
