Till,

You can find the project source tree at https://code.launchpad.net/snapweb It
references both the bzr branches of webdm and the latest master git branch
sync'ed with github.com/snapcore/snapweb which is now the main code
repository.

The mDNS implementation used by snapweb is here
https://github.com/snapcore/snapweb/blob/master/avahi/avahi.go, based on
https://github.com/presotto/go-mdns-sd. Previously it was using
https://github.com/davecheney/mdns but that had issues at startup and was
causing snapweb to exit on mDNS errors.

I couldn't find the older avahi wrapper doing a quick history search, but
as Sergio and Jamie suggested, that won't really help. New interfaces are
needed.
