Reading the readme on github, I'm not sure copying all those crypto
functions is a good idea. Including a more broadly used library that
provides them and is updated when problems arise might be better  -
although I'm not sure which library targeted at embedded systems might
provide everything you need.

Of course it's no considered spam. But unless you aim for integration
into the lwIP code base (which is rather unlikely, I think), you should
be writing this mail to the lwip-users list, not the lwip-devel list
(which is about the lwIP source code and problems with it).
