service discovery of nearby deken servers

[umlaeute]

just a quick thought:

when doing workshops without a proper internet connection, it might be super-cool to do some automatic service discovery of nearby deken servers.

e.g.

0. everybody uses the same local network (e.g. a local wlan router, that need not be connected to the internet)
1. "teacher" sets up a local deken-server with all the workshop packages required
2. "students" launch Pd and "Find externals", which automatically uses the discovered deken-server

something like ZeroConf/avahi is probably the technology to use, but it doesn't seem like Tcl/Tk supports anything like this...
