In "specialities" like this one, the netconn API is (unfortunately) 
sometimes incomplete as the "core" and socket APIs are more widely used.

While you don't have to "mess" with the "so_options" field, you'd have 
to call "ip_set_option(conn->pcb.ip, optname)", which should work for 
you but is still not a clean solution as accessing the "pcb" member of a 
netconn should not be done by client code and should not be done from an 
application thread (only from tcpip_thread).
