Details:
It would be great if at the join game menu, I could click LAN and a list of
games running on the local LAN would come up. The way to do this would be to
support zeroconf, using Avahi on Linux, Bonjour on OSX and Windows probably
has some Vista-only API.

I'd also like a way to have a game with my IRC/IM buddies. This is probably
only something you could do on Linux with Telepathy tubes:

Obviously both of these should be build-time optional and maybe have options
to turn them off.
