I didn't fully understand what exactly our changes do but I'll have to say
that it does sound promising. In our case we don't use lwIP "standalone" but
integrated into a larger system which already has it's own buffer
management. So we had to create a mapping between lwIP buffers and our
buffers, not using the lwIP buffer space at all and mostly rewriting the
pbuf_ functions. I haven't investigated in how far your changes would apply
to our system but I'm sure that people could benefit from a buffer system
which allowed to easily integrate into an external buffer management in some
way.
