Unfortunately, the gnulib maintainers aren't ready for it to be a package at the moment; follow this thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2005-07/msg00007.html The problem is that no-one has prepared a ./configure script, there is no Makefile, and the only thing useful if it were packaged would be a beefed-up gnulib-tool that does a fresh CVS checkout as needed (since gnulib uses source-level sharing of source that is constantly being improved in CVS). But patches are certainly welcome, if someone wants to pursue the course (and yes, I agree that it might make a cool cygwin package if gnulib-tool could be installed with the ability to refresh modules from CVS). - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
