Excellent, it is good to see ports being actively maintained.

Sounds fine.

I'd be happy to give you write access to CVS to enable you to upload and
maintain this port.  If you could put in a membership request for the
lwIP group on savannah, I'll approve it so you can start checking stuff
in.  It would be nice to get this in before we do the final roll of
1.3.0
