Is this a kernel feature? AFAIK UPnP is just another application
protocol on top of UDP, so it can be done in userspace. And didn't Intel
release a UPnP stack on SourceForge? Whoa, I see 7 UPnP projects on SF;
at least one of them is probably real.

Probably you want to go with the IETF approach - Service Location Protocol 
(RFC2608, RFC2609, RFC2610, RFC2614 and some others). There is a reasonable 
open source implementation (OpenSLP), and no dodgy vendor association.
