You mean "how do I make my image use mdev instead of udev?", right?

IMAGE_DEV_MANAGER = "busybox-mdev"
in your local.conf (what's the reason micro-base uses udev instead of
mdev, btw?)

Er, does it?  My copy of micro-base-image.bb says:

# Include minimum init and init scripts
IMAGE_DEV_MANAGER = "busybox-mdev"
IMAGE_INIT_MANAGER = "sysvinit sysvinit-pidof"
IMAGE_INITSCRIPTS = ""

If it's using udev then that is definitely a bug.

Baking micro-base (not -image) tries to build udev for me?

Many packages (R)DEPEND on udev, it's very hard to build anything these days 
without dragging in udev.

What I usually do is add

PROVIDES += "udev"
RPROVIDES_${PN}-mdev += "udev"

to the busybox recipe, and just assume that whatever all those packages 
claim they need udev for, is provided by mdev as well...

And set a

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_udev = "busybox"

(I do that from the distro. People might argue this has to be an image 
decision instead of a distro decision, but I prefer to set 
IMAGE_DEV_MANAGER in the distro instead of the image..)

Rgds, Pieter

And does it end up in your image? Bitbaking something also builds quilt
for me, yet it doesn't show up in the image.

I'm not familiar with that recipe and I don't seem to have a
micro-base.bb in my tree.  But, if it's sucking in udev, it sounds like
a bogus dependency somewhere.  You can use bitbake -g to find out where.
