I didn't mean to offend anyone. I only wanted to point out to readers 
monitoring this list that there is (some) documentation available. Surprisingly 
enough, the files in the 'doc' directory often are not noticed by many people.

You see, that's an open wiki. It's not really maintained by lwIP developers, I 
guess (at least not by me). LwIP users are encouraged to work on it and improve 
it, though :-)
