I put those variable declarations into a core_private.h file that lives in the 
core add-on's folder and is included by every file that uses those variables. 
They are defined in mbuf.c.
Also, I fixed some compilation warnings and added initial support for the 
control() function that I need to talk to the ppp interface module. The last 
step is to add support for those functions to the stack driver. I will do this 
later (together with the pppcontrol/pppdial/pppwhatever cmd-line app).

I think this is the biggest problem of our mailing lists. The communication is 
too inefficient.
