Most probably no changes will be required.  You just tell tftp to use the 
unix library, and it should use lwip instead of the normal OS network 
stack.  How you do this on your particular OS, I'm not sure, but you can 
do it on linux using the LD_PRELOAD environment variable.

Before you try tftp, make sure you can compile and run the example 
programs in the contrib CVS module's unix port, and compile the library 
in the same place.
