If we had some network tracker interface, this would be a really
interesting platform-agnostic way to connect to local services on the
network.
Looking in the example above, Haiku could show multiple web servers, ssh
servers, printers, in Tracker. We could open _http._tcp.local devices as
http://... in WebPositive, _ssh._tcp.local in a terminal SSH session, etc.
