Heh, yep.

OK, sounds good.  In my case here, with the Avahi tests there's remote
IP addresses in the output, so the qa/common.filter _host_to_ipaddr()
function might prove handy - I guess we could pick out the local host
IP that way, and discard all others?  ( aaand that function looks like
it needs some IPv6 love :] ).
