I don't know. Typically when I have project "X" I just fetch "X" from
the repository and that's it. When I want FreeBSD, I just fetch one
thing and it works. The same with other projects.

If you make it easy for people to get & fetch lwIP, unix/ stuff will get
fixed by itself. See below.

Do you use VC++ for this stuff, or maybe Cygwin BTW?

This is how I made it:

        http://freebsd.czest.pl/~wkoszek/stuff/lwip/lwip.tbz

It's a packed Git repository. You can see the structure in here:

        http://freebsd.czest.pl/~wkoszek/stuff/lwip/lwip/

I have patches to fix some stuff; patches contain comments above the  
changes. Patch for contrib/ stuff:

        http://freebsd.czest.pl/~wkoszek/stuff/lwip/lwip/lwip-contrib.1.patch

And this is how I had to fix lwIP itself:

        http://freebsd.czest.pl/~wkoszek/stuff/lwip/lwip/lwip.1.patch

For now I only made contrib/unix/ work. I haven't touched win32.

What do you think?
