[lwip-devel] [patch #7221] Changes to init.c for NO_SYS=1

[Bill Auerbach]

Follow-up Comment #2, patch #7221 (project lwip):

It's new in 1.4 (that "for some time now" is less than 6 months). Everyone
with NO_SYS=1 will already have timer handling in place (or they won't have a
functioning stack).  It's great that it's there, but 1) Should I be forced to
use it? and 2) I have one 10 line C function that handles all of the timers
with only the overhead of a modulus operator - the change in code size and
efficiency going to timers.c is possibly 10 to 1.

We need then an LWIP_SUPPORTS_TIMERS for those who have something working and
don't need (or want) to change their method.

I'm working on shipping products and can't easily test CVS_HEAD.  I am now on
one project but it's imperative that I can easily go back to 1.3.2 in case I
need a maintenance release.  The easier it is to go to 1.4 and *back* to 1.3.2
from there the more you'll find users will be able to help test 1.4.
