There's some scope for improving the dependency info. For example,
CYGIMP_LWIP_MEMP_MEM_MALLOC could specify:

   requires { CYGINT_ISO_MEMALLOC != 0 }
   default_value { CYGINT_ISO_MEMALLOC != 0 }


Shouldn't it use "calculated_value" instead of "default_value"?

No, calculated_value would not let the user configure lwIP to use the internal allocator when memalloc is available. But I think there are scenarios where this is feasible, as it keeps all allocations for lwIP in a "safe place", not mixing up with the rest of the system. I was wondering to leave the default_value at 0, but I guess most users would expect lwIP to use the system memory allocator when not otherwise specified, so John's suggestion is fine I think.
