Here are some source libraries and extensions for gawk (the GNU awk implementation) of which I'm the author or else involved someway.
Initially named XMLgawk (2004) and later xgawk (2006). Currently renamed as gawkextlib (2012). It started as a fork of gawk, with XML processing capability. Later recoded as a shared library extension with added support for PostgreSQL, GD graphics library, and more.
Gawkextlib is now a repository of gawk extensions that can be loaded independently. There are more than a dozen extensions, and new additions are expected from time to time.
The project is hosted at SourceForge:

gawk-csvio is a gawk library that supports CSV data management in a straightforward way. Example, convert a CSV file to tab-delimited file:
gawk '
BEGIN{ FS=OFS="\t" }
@include "csvio"
{
csvimport()
print csvrecord()
}
' some_data_file.csv

awk-csvio is a POSIX awk library that supports CSV data management in a straightforward way. Example, convert a CSV file to tab-delimited file:
awk -f csvio.awk '
BEGIN{ FS=OFS="\t" }
{
csvimport()
print csvrecord0()
}
' some_data_file.csv

Webargs is a small utility that enables some restricted form of URLs as file input arguments for gawk. Example:
gawk -f webargs.awk -f myscript.awk some_local_file.txt http://some.remote/file.html

Encodargs is a proof-of-concept module that automatically converts
encoding of gawk input files on request. It allows mixing textual data
with disparate encodings in the same gawk invocation. To request encoding
conversion, just append the suffix ::encoding to
the file name argument. Example:
gawk -f encodargs.awk -f myscript.awk normal_file.txt foreign_file.txt::iso-8859-15
Encodargs requires the iconv(1) utility to be installed.
