I don't really know how to guide you. Every time I've tried to import a newer version of glob + fnmatch from gnulib, for example, I'm stymied by the complex configure and makefile requirements that both it and its prerequisite modules need. Maybe getopt would be easier? I'm skeptical but definitely willing to be proved wrong.
