You can get the package's files at the github repo : https://github.com/meteor/meteor/tree/master/packages

Fetch the files you want except the package.js files and add them to your project. Of note is you need to ensure their loading order sometimes so you might have to modify the file names, to have a look at the loading order have a look at package.js. By default meteor orders file by name but packages don't necessarily use that.

You can avoid renaming the files if you just mod the package and add it back using meteorite : https://github.com/oortcloud/meteorite
