Fwd: GSoC 2017: Porting LwIP to the Hurd

[Joan Lledó]

Hello Thomas,

Great news, now I have another reference for doing this.

I've been taking a look and have seen they are using LwIP as a
library. In my prototype, LwIP is not even a static library, its
sources are compiled along with the translator to create a single
binary, like pfinet with the Linux stack. Maybe we should create this
library so we don't need to recompile the translator when updating
LwIP.

Thanks for the link!
