Bug#534216: ITP: mbuffer -- tool for buffering streams

[Mats Erik Andersson <mats.andersson@gisladisker.se>]

Hello,

it is no mandatory need to link mbuffer against libcrypto/OpenSSL.
The problem is that the upstream source Thomas Maier-Komor
made a mistake in "configure.in", in specifying the reverse
check order for the intended order of preference (he explicitely
writes this order in the documentation)

    libmhash, libmd5, and libcrypto.

I submitted a remark and patch about this fact to the upstream
source two days ago, and I have produced an almost lintian
clean (modulo NMU etc.) package of mbuffer that links against
libmhash, contrary to the a priori outcome of the tar-ball.
Thus it is now fairly strightforward to produce an GPL-ed
package "mbuffer". It is a question of regeneration with
autotools.


Best regards

Mats Erik Andersson
