It has been about five years since I built libcurl to link
against lwip. A lot has happened to both libraries since then,
but it still seems true that ./configure will not be able
to make sense of the lwip libraries and headers.

In the end, I believe I took the output from a
cross-compile ./configure and massaged the config.h and makefiles
in order to build against lwip. That took a few hours longer than
I liked, but the end result worked out fine.

Cheers,
