ktorrent proper doesn't depend on avahi, but it has an optional
plugin that does, and by default the build system checks to see if
avahi is present.  There's an old Gentoo patch that I think is intended
to provide support for explicitly disabling avahi (thus killing the check 
and just not building the plugin) via a configuration option, but it 
obviously won't apply if ktorrent has been converted to CMake.

In other words, the warning is harmless if you're okay with autodetects,
but we may be able to fix it anyway.
