Be aware that the dependencies can be quite complex. I have had problems 
even when slipstreaming things like xorriso-1.4.2 to to xorriso-1.4.4.

To add a package do something along these lines:

Construct a directory for the package formatted like those already in 
packages directory, see the Buildroot documentation. In the example 
below it contains only Config.in  and libltc.mk because the hash file 
can be omitted for testing.

Add it to the packages/Config.in file doing something like the below:

# My attempt to add libltc as a buildroot package for future use
# Note that libltc has not yet been submitted to upstream buildroot
sed --in-place '/    source "package\/liblo\/Config.in"/a \ source 
"package/libltc/Config.in"' package/Config.in
rm --recursive --force package/libltc
mv ../libltc package/

make menuconfig should now allow you to select it.

Good luck.
