Are you sure we're allowed to use the PolarSSL code? A quick look at 
http://polarssl.org/licensing told me that the Open Source License for 
PolarSSL is GPL (v2) while lwIP is distributed under a BSD-Style 
license. The difference here is that we don't require anyone using lwIP 
in a product to unveil their source code (or even the lwIP source code), 
while GPL requires any source code linked to GPL sources to be made 
available to the public, too.

In short, we cannot include GPL code in our repository.

As a side note, I'm still looking for a decent open source SSL 
implementation for embedded webservers with a BSD-style licensed...
