Hello,
I believe there is no solution at the moment to disable Avahi support at 
run time, if tdelibs was built with avahi enabled.
I will check if tdelibs package can be split in several smaller packages 
(as tdebase), so that you can avoid libraries needing avahi, but I'm not 
sure this is possible.
