There is a script which makes an EPK in the savannah CVS. This way from
time to time I (or anybody) can make that epk and send the diff
against the latest checkpoint to ecos-patches. But activity of lwip
development is not too high. Having it in ecos I hope that at least
testing and feedback if not development rate will increase a bit.
