Sorry for the long delay. I have now applied your patch, with a few
changes.

First, I changed the commit title to "package/mbuffer: new package", to
follow our convention.

I've added an entry for this package in the DEVELOPERS file.

I've added a comment that explains why we have this dependency:

	depends on !BR2_STATIC_LIBS # dlopen()

And here I've added a Config.in comment that shows up in
BR2_STATIC_LIBS configurations, so that users now why mbuffer is not
available.

Applied with those changes. Thanks!
