lwIP configuration option patch

Hello Andrew,

I never used DHCP with lwIP here so I never discovered this problem. I 
used a fixed IP address to run the tests. Today I compiled the tests 
with DHCP support and tried to debug them but insight did not list the 
dhcp.c file in its sources. I inserted an #error message into the dhcp.c 
file to check if it is built - it is. So it must be linker garbage 
collection because the dhcp functions are simply not referenced anywhere 
in the code. I checked the lwip code and there is not initialisation for 
dhcp and also the timer functions dhcp_fine_tmr() and dhcp_coarse_tmr() 
are never called.

So obviously Jani Monoses, who contributed the original lwIP patch, also 
never used DHCP ;o) I will try to add DHCP support as soon as I have the 
time (maybe in some weeks). At least my patch did not broke DHCP support 
- so please try a fixed IP address when testing.
