Simple HTTP Server

Provide the code to use the Ethernet MAC Layer as an HTTP Server. In the current state it uses the lwip stack to build a full functional TCP/IP stack. This http Server is a very simple one. It is build by callback routines and can serve one package requests only. But it is simple to extend.
