You can build single libraries in the sourceforge repository at http://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/svn/HEAD/tree/trunk/ Run make in the externals directory with the name of the library, for example 'make cyclone'. The valid commands are all in the externals/Makefile.
A problem with this for WindowsOS is that vanilla is built with MSVC and extended with MinGW, they use different c runtime libraries, so some things like file operations will crash Pd.
that certainly makes it harder, and means an MSVC set up machine and work-flow is required.
Maybe if what is attractive about extended is a unified, libraries-included application with an improved GUI it would make more sense to work with the pd-l2ork team and build that for windows. They have often expressed a willingness to get it built, but a lack of time and a priority to re-base the GUI first so that, amongst other things, other OSes are easier.
