According to Gerrit P. Haase on 7/7/2005 6:35 AM:

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).
