Humm, I don't see why AF_UNIX should be added. This is only useful for
multi processes environment, which small embedded systems don't have,
for obvious reasons, and it requires a filesystem abstraction able to
create other than regular files (i.e. socket files), which are only
available on filesystems which are several magnitude bigger than lwIP.
Or I am wrong ? :)
