Up to 1.3.0, it seems to have been working with WND == MSS. And although this 
is not a good idea regarding performance, there are applications where it makes 
sense, e.g. if your system is too slow to receive two segments in a row without 
a big gap in between. So adding a check including #error might be annoying in 
this case.

However, I a) don't know if other TCP stacks handle this well (problems with 
remote peers may arise) and b) I guess WND < MSS might not work at all, so at 
least checking this in lwip_init might be a good idea.

After all, I'm still not sure that the change in behaviour seen from 1.3.0 to 
1.3.1 (can be seen quite good in Jan's wireshark dump) is OK (unless it can be 
turned off by setting the window update threshold to zero).
