That is a different issue: you should have turned on the correct warnings when 
compiling and the compiler would have warned you there.

I'm not planning to convert the raw API right now: neither the send window nor 
the pbuf length can hold more than 64K, so it is not strictly necessary to 
convert the raw API functions. However, if you have a sndbuf > 64K, it might be 
desirable to do so...

Anyway, that's a different issue from sockets/netconn, so I'm not doing this 
now.
