On windows gnulib-tool does not work (msys-1.0.10 misses the join command), and manually tracking all the dependencies is quite annoying.
Rather, with a minimal guesswork one can copy the relevant source files from the lib directory and write a tiny project for testing it compiles and runs correctly.
Compilation won't succeed on the first attempt, typically config.h is missing and similar. Carefully checking what includes and definitions are appropriate requires a minimal understanding of how the module at hand is implemented. That is longer than using auto-tools, but much much shorter than rewriting the source from scratch.

Thank GNU, as usual, for sharing useful code!
