Cool! Could you please give me a quick heads up when you got your packages
up and running, so that we can update the wiki page at
https://bitbucket.org/purelang/pure-lang/wiki/ArchPackaging accordingly?

Well, quite likely the Makefile still reflects the partial state of
knowledge/confusion about Zeroconf I was in when I wrote it. :) Clarity
isn't exactly a hallmark feature of the Avahi documentation (or Zeroconf in
general) either...
i guess that's all more trouble than it's worth, i'll just skip

Yeah, that's what I did for Arch, too. I only use pure-bonjour on the Mac.
The original Bonjour API is a royal pita (especially the 3-stage
asynchronous protocol you have to go through before you finally know the
real IP of a service; whoever designed that lovely bit should really go
work for Microsoft instead of Apple). So I would have gone with pure-avahi
on the Mac as well (avahi is in MacPorts). But I couldn't get the avahi
daemon to work on the Mac, so I did pure-bonjour instead.
Maybe I should have reconciled the two into a single pure-zeroconf module
which simply uses the native Zeroconf implementation on each system. But
it's still conceivable that someone might want to use *both* Avahi and
Bonjour on the same system. So they are two separate modules for now, and
zeroconf.pure is provided for those like myself who need cross-platform
compatibility.
