I understand that we are addressing similar problems for a different set
of applications.

I agree with Simon: if we are able to restructure the code using macro/
functions such that parts can be shared, we can benefit from 
a wider user community and a larger group of developers.
Along the path we will see how much code we can share.

How many lwip active developers live in Europe? 
FOSDEM is a huge conference for developers, if you join FOSDEM we can
meet there and if you want we can arrange a brainstorming session 
on LWIP-LWIPv6 in the NCIV dev-room.
