If I remember correctly, when things like IGMP are turned off, lwIP 
should not make a difference between unicast and multicast. However, I'm 
not completely sure. If Frédéric would read this, maybe he could clarify 
it (as one of the active developers, he has already used lwIP for 
multicast protocols, so it must be working _somehow_).

I know this answer is not what you'd like it to be, yet maybe what 
you've expected: as an open source project which is driven mainly by 
people working on it in their free time or as part of their company's 
project, public documentation is not as extensive as many of us would 
like it to be... As with many open source projects, unfortunately most 
of the 'documentation' lies in the source code itself and the 
developer's brains :-(

Nevertheless, if you take the win32 port (maintained mainly by Frédéric 
and me) as an example, things should be great ;-)

Oh, and if you ever feel like writing documentation (especially as a 
beginner who still sees the possible abnormalties in lwIP), please feel 
free to put your know-how in the wiki! After all, the wiki in some 
respects already provides more information than the txt doc files in 
CVS, thanks to our users!
