Mateusz,

Perhaps a starting point could be the MITAB library. It comes with a 
standalone/stripped down copy of OGR that contains all the geometry, 
feature, layer, datasource, SRS, etc... classes, as well as the CPL 
(port) stuff. You may not need much more to be able to have a working 
OGR with your selected drivers outside of the GDAL environment.

The CVS version of MITAB (not released yet) has been updated from the 
latest OGR source about 2 weeks ago. You could get it through anonymous 
CVS by checking out module "mitab" with the following CVSROOT:
  CVSROOT=:pserver:cvsanon at cvs.maptools.org:/cvs/maptools/cvsroot
There is no password for anonymous CVS access, i.e. just hit return with 
an empty password when doing a 'cvs login'
