Related connect-phonegap issue: phonegap/connect-phonegap#140

Basically we want a way for users to easily pair their device and server without having to type in the ip address.

Ok, so it works on serving from a mac machine and can connect to android and ios (ios doesn't fire deviceready for some reason). However, when trying to get connect-phonegap to run on a windows machine, I can't get it to compile the specific node module it uses (https://github.com/phonegap/connect-phonegap/blob/autodiscovery/package.json#L35).

Shelving this for now.

@purplecabbage also did a little research work:

looked at mdns and on windows it requires the Bonjour sdk from Apple, and you are not allowed to redistribute it.
