Subject: [PATCH] Add mdns name configuration option
Add the mdns name configuration variable to control the mdns hostname.
The default is to use the NETBIOS name of the system to match previous
versions which is typically the hostname in all capitals. A value of mdns
can be provided to defer the hostname to the mdns library.
With the recent patch to support time machine being merged this patch
allows for a user to configure the server name that is advertised to
be lower cased through Avahi advertisements.

+Time Machine Support with vfs_fruit
+===================================
+Samba can be configured as a Time Machine target for Apple Mac devices
+through the vfs_fruit module. When enabling a share for Time Machine
+support the relevant Avahi records to support discovery will be published
+for installations that have been built against the Avahi client library.
+
+Shares can be designated as a Time Machine share with the following setting:
+
+ 'fruit:time machine = yes'
+
+Support for lower casing the MDNS Name
+======================================
+Allows the server name that is advertised through MDNS to be set to the
+hostname rather than the Samba NETBIOS name. This allows an administrator
+to make Samba registered MDNS records match the case of the hostname
+rather than being in all capitals.
+
+This can be set with the following settings:
+
+ 'mdns name = mdns'
