The only changes outside the package are to io/eth/lwip which is already
in ecos.
A couple of clarifications about the submission:
- files in lwip have a BSD copyright text. I suppose there's no need to
add the ecos copyrigth text in each of them right?
- should I send a gzipped patch to ecos-patches or post a link to an EPK
(~200K)?
