Reimport mDNSResponder-625.41.2 with include guards, and update documentation
0%
Description
It would be helpful for continual synchronization of libdns_sd et al to Apple's version (and code review thereof) if the third-party code was imported fully, and illumos-specific revisions were contained in #ifdef-else sections under a new macro, _ILLUMOS_MDNS.
For man pages, the equivalent technique can be used in comment-sections using the same _ILLUMOS_MDNS keyword.
Also, the libdns_sd README needs updating, as several of the documented, "Solaris"-specific changes are defunct given the version of mDNSResponder, 625.41.2, which was last imported.

I did the facelift on the current version and took the simple path; I too think the more appropriate way would have something like freebsd is doing - to have the full third party package in ../contrib tree, and build Makefiles where you need to build the specific component. This way it is easier to build the patches to original code and import the updates.
