It already is configurable.

1) Uses sysctl(). Its something like net.inet.tcp.msl. You can
   probably find its proper name using the sysctl test program.

2) The network stack makes a lot of its variables global. tcp_msl is
   no exception. But there is a bit of jiggery-pokery going on, so its
   actually called cyg_tcp_msl. So just do something like...

extern int cyg_tcp_msl;

/* 'Orrible hack warning. Play around with the internal timer
variables of the network stack. Yuck. */
cyg_tcp_msl = 10;

I would spend some time to see what else uses this timer. This might
change other things are well as how long sockets take to close.
