The source is included in the guidolib stuff. You can get it from the src distribution (http://sourceforge.net/projects/guidolib/files/Guidolib-src/) or from svn (svn co https://guidolib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/guidolib guidolib)

Of course you need to compile and install the guido engine first. 
The project is based on cmake and includes an 'install' target.

If you want to support the MusicXML format, you should also compile and install the MusicXML library (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libmusicxml/), also cmake based.

The problem is that due to the Guido Engine dependency, it's not just a couple of files that are needed but more than 500... it seems not reasonable to me to commit (and maintain) that on the pure-data svn. 
The guido external itself is just one file (+ 2 optional files if you want to support MusicXML) but could it make sense to put only these files since they won't compile, apart that it makes them visible to the pd users.
