New description:

 RTEMS has an old version of Mongoose using a permissive license before it
 was relicensed to GPL. There was a fork at the point of it being
 relicensed and it is now called Civetweb
 (https://github.com/civetweb/civetweb).

 This project would remove mongoose from RTEMS and ideally replace it with
 an RSB built version of Civetweb. This would enable it to be used on top
 of any TCP/IP stack RTEMS supports.

 One challenge will be figuring out how to deal with all the options
 Civetweb has, making these accessible to the user building Civetweb via
 RSB, and documenting them.
