A solution that doesn't support blocking semantics isn't a useful one.  The 
whole point of the sockets API is that it works the same way on all platforms, 
making porting the application and writing code against a familiar API easy.  
lwIP already has more specialised APIs that are tailored to deliver higher 
performance and lower overheads, which people are encouraged to use, but the 
sockets API needs to be as close to the BSD sockets standard as possible.
