While this is 'possible' it is generally not the way things are designed
and would requrie duplication of various btis of avahi (e.g. the
headers) into the gaim source and this is quite ugly.

It would be nice if someone could port the gaim stuff to avahi directly,
I might have a look at it...

Cheers,
Trent
