No, but for me reading the according portions of sys_arch.c from the 
Unix port was not too hard, and gave me a good idea of what had to be done.

As you mention task initialization (which is quite unproblematic) I'd 
like to point to the more complicated (clean) removal of tasks from lwIP 
usage. This issue hasn't been given much (any?) attention, probably 
because embedded multitasking systems tend to create tasks only once and 
then never remove them. Are there any plans to standardize task removal, 
or is it not of general interest? (I have always been postponing to 
implement it, but someday I'll surely need it.)
