Avahi and mDNSResponder provide a DNS-SD implementation for *NIX 
systems.  If you want to actually use this functionality, you must do 
the following:

1) Install the 'avahi' package and its dependencies.

2) If the Bonjour Service is not listed in services.msc (it is installed 
by several well-known Windows programs), download and install it.  Once 
present, make sure it is set to start automatically.

3) Install the D-Bus system service by running messagebus-config as an 
Administrator.

4) Install the Avahi system service by running 
/usr/sbin/avahi-daemon-config as an Administrator.

5) Start the messagebus and avahi-daemon services with `cygrunsrv -S' or 
via services.msc, or reboot.
