* I modified tcp_ip_stack to reflect that lwip should replace pfinet.
* I modified open_issues/device_drivers_and_io_systems to include rump kernel. * I created a rump kernel wiki page, and I linked to it from the project_ideas/tcp_ip_stack webpage. * I added an obsolete logo to the DDE page, to pointe people to the Rump kernel page.
