The doc/contrib.txt does give some hints on how to proceed,
but it doesn't give the gory details. (It's assumed you have this
knowledge.)

Contributing as non-member can be done by submitting a
patch file to http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?group=lwip

To create such a patch file use this command :

diff -urN lwip_x_y_z.orig lwip-x_y_z.new > your_fantastic.patch

where lwip-x_y_z.orig is the unchanged lwip release directory tree
(our sources!) and lwip-x_y_z.new has your local changes.

If you don't have access to a unix box for the 'diff' command you
could use the Cygwin tools or if you use TortoiseCVS you could use
the command "Make Patch" on your local changes.

Note patches should only tackle one subject so we can easily commit
these without we having to detangle too much stuff we dislike.

I was reluctant to integrate IGMP stuff since it is an invasive change,
and changes were possbily not in the 'right' places.

Sorry, we're a bit laggin behind on fixing and cleaning stuff up.

I can't tell this yet, I'll need approval from my boss first.
Keep an open eye on this list.
