This fixes a bug affecting namespace imports/exports such as
export * from "module"
import * as ns from "module"
where "module" is a CommonJS module that sets module.exports to an
object-like value that is not actually an object, e.g. a function.
The reify commit that fixed this bug includes a test demonstrating an
example of one such library (lodash):

The `winston` npm package is not an ECMAScript module, but it does export
a "default" property, and this property was accidentally clobbering the
"default" property of the namespace object, thus interfering with default
import syntax:
import winston from "winston"
Specifically, the `winston` variable would end up referring to
`require("winston").default`, rather than `require("winston")`.
Nothing is lost by fixing this problem, as you can still refer to
`winston.default` if you need to access that property.

Something went wrong with 1.5-rc.2 such that publishing meteor-tool failed
with the following error on all platforms:
While publishing package build for meteor-tool:
error: Cannot override existing build
This makes no sense to me, but it necessitates another RC release. To be
clear, meteor-tool@1.5.0-rc.2 has not been successfully published on any
platform, so please don't bother trying to update to it.
This polyfill is unnecessary in Node, and added a whopping 22KB to the
minified client bundle. If you really need the Buffer API on the client,
you can get it from require("buffer").Buffer.
The 0.8.0 version line was colliding with release-1.5, causing the modules
package not to be published during the release-1.4.3.x release process,
similar to what was happening with the ecmascript package:
