[RFC] Missing sleep function for mingw hosts

mingw does not have a sleep function in its library.
This prevents currently successful compilation of
mingw64 with --enable-targets=all option.

I found that there is a substitute for sleep in gnulib:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=lib/sleep.c;hb=d60
f3b0c6b0f93a601acd1cfd3923f94ca05abb0

What is the rule to add new parts into gnulib subdirectory?
Would inclusion of gnulib sleep.c source code
be possible to fix the above problem?
