In babel if you wan't it to run on android via WiFi

Here is how we enabled it in RetroShare taking advantage of some Qt goodies, 
in babel it will probably be a bit more complex because there is no Qt helpers 
to interface to Android Java objects, so you will probebly need to use plain 
JNI

services/broadcastdiscoveryservice.cc#L261


And here you can find details about the warning one get on some android version 
and devices when attempting to read own network interface addresses

As we use again Qt goodies to do that on Android easier I reported a bug with 
more details to Qt too

In particular this comment might be relevant for babel too
