lwIP, as it is distributed, isn't usable out of the box.  You have to
port it to your operating system and hardware.  The files you reference
are the ones you may need to write as part of this porting process.  

A number of ports have been done already, and there are a couple of
example ones (e.g. unix and windows) in the lwIP "contrib" module.  This
is available by CVS, or as you prefer, a zip download from savannah.

Hope that helps,
