Personally, I wouldn't mind adding these casts (I'm actually used to add 
more casts in the rest of my code than in lwIP as I mostly use C++ and 
C#...). However, the problem I see here is that none of my compilers 
which I use to test lwIP warns me about these casts left away (these are 
ANSI C compilers, I guess) and so it might be difficult to always keep 
the code correct (regarding the casts) after changes.
