+Avahi 0.6.1 and above offer full API and ABI compatibility with HOWL
+and Bonjour out-of-the-box. To enable this you pass
+--enable-compat-libdns_sd and/or --enable-compat-howl to the configure
+script. The build system installs both a shared library libdns_sd.so
+and one named libhowl.so. These files might overwrite the original
+implementations, so take care!
+
+Distributors that want full build system compatibility in addition to
+ABI/API compatibility should:
+
+ 1) Symlink the pkg-config file avahi-compat-howl.pc to howl.pc
+
+ 2) Symlink $(includedir)/avahi-compat-libdns_sd/dns_sd.h to
+ $(includedir)/dns_sd.h
