   Using BSD-style lwIP instead of Winsock TCP/IP stack in Win32 builds

   --------------------------------------------------------------------



   In order to compile libcurl and curl using BSD-style lwIP TCP/IP stack

   it is necessary to make definition of preprocessor symbol USE_LWIPSOCK

   visible to libcurl and curl compilation processes. To set this definition

   you have the following alternatives:



   - Modify lib/config-win32.h and src/config-win32.h

   - Modify lib/Makefile.vc6

   - Add definition to Project/Settings/C/C++/General/Preprocessor Definitions

     in the vc6libcurl.dsw/vc6libcurl.dsp Visual C++ 6 IDE project.



   Once that libcurl has been built with BSD-style lwIP TCP/IP stack support,

   in order to use it with your program it is mandatory that your program

   includes lwIP header file <lwip/opt.h> (or another lwIP header that includes

   this) before including any libcurl header. Your program does not need the

   USE_LWIPSOCK preprocessor definition which is for libcurl internals only.



   Compilation has been verified with lwIP 1.4.0 and contrib-1.4.0 from:
