Anonymous currently always uses pserver, since it's passwordless & 
insecure by definition anyway.. the client does ask the server though so 
that could be changed in the future.

The only thing that lists them currently is WorkspaceViewer and 
WorkspaceManager.  There should probably be a command line way to do it 
but I haven't worked out a good place to put it (ls sounds like the best 
place but that requires a server connection which kind of defeats the 
point).

The data is just a modified version of DNS-SD (probably not RFC 
compatible but it doesn't need to be).
