If you are truly in dire straits? Give it a shot of ether down the schnoz.
If that doesn't work, then you try some! Warning this might crack your head and/or your car's head. Or, if you are far away from any kind of easy help, fill 'er up and keep the car running overnight.

lemme make it plainer... unless you know exactly what you are doing, NEVER INTRODUCE ETHER TO AN IDI (glow plug style) DIESEL ENGINE!!!!!!! the instant explosion of the ether can bend rods, shatter pistons and other bad things you don't want in your car...

An old time Mercedes mechanic told me the exact same thing: do not ever ever use Ether to start because you could be looking at a snapped timing chain.
Here's a little something I'm looking at for cold winter starts....notice it has 1700 cold cranking amps!!! That's a lot of juice! http://www.amazon.com/Jump-N-Carry-JNC660-1700-Peak-Starter/dp/B000JFJLP6/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1292335759&sr=8-5
