from our experience with a GSoC project trying to bring DLNA support to 
digikam, with a focus on provding a content server:
- there are some low-level libraries implementing the basic communication 
structure of UPnP
- this is by far not sufficient to have a working implementation for anything, 
you need not only send XML, you need to create the XML content before
- herqq seemed in our triage the only real option (C++, extensible, clean 
code) for our special purposes, and it aims at implementing the higher-level 
parts of the protocol as well
- it is effectively unmaintained. The developer responded to mail, but no 
development or bug fixes. 
Weird things happen like supporting some devices, but no Sony devices.
- an open source project which produces a working and maintained UPnP software 
product is minidlna, but it is not a library.
=>a good UPnP support will come not for free, but by going to the depths of 
improving the backend library
