[lwip-devel] Missing 'dhcp6_set_ntp_servers()'

[Gisle Vanem]

When experimenting with IPv6 and most features enabled
(including 'LWIP_DHCP6_GET_NTP_SRV=1'), I get a
link error:
  dhcp6.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
  _dhcp6_set_ntp_servers referenced in function _dhcp6_recv

I'm not sure if the NTP-address in dhcp6_recv() is always an
IPv6-address, so just patched it like this:

+{
+  (void) server;
+  LWIP_DEBUGF(SNTP_DEBUG_TRACE, ("sntp: got NTP server #%u via DHCPv6\n", 
num));
+}
+#endif

This works in my Windows test-app since I use lwIP as a static-lib.
This patch fails if my app uses a lwIP.dll.

But IMHO it's strange that a lwipcore6 file should call into an
APPFILE like this. Same issue with 'LWIP_DHCP_GET_NTP_SRV=1' in
'core/ipv4/dhcp.c'.

Perhaps there should be 2 func-pointers defined in lwIP for
sntp.c to hook into?
