Yes, that sounds fine. I'll adapt the source code to have a callback
function
for when this "minute" timer fires and base my DHCP lease timers on that.

To be honest, I lost track of how the current timers are implemented,
especially in the case of a stand alone application, using the raw API.

Currently, I just call the tcp timers at their respected intervals (driven
by some interrupt based clock).

Sure, I'll release the DHCP client this friday and won't touch it before
5th of February anyway. A good moment to include it if you find the
time.

I think inclusion in the lwIP tree would at least increment the amount of
feedback to improve on it.

Regards, Leon.
