The check package is at least available in the cygwin installer under
the Development category.

Yes, good idea. I have started subscribing it as well.

I have implemented 5 tests for the IP layer, available at
http://kryo.se/test-1.3.0.tar.gz

Untar it inside a lwip-1.3.0 release and run make all/make run in the
test directory. Try it inside cygwin with the check package installed
and deliver any comments to lwip-devel, and we'll continue there.
