How about option c) :-)

If you have a build (any build, basically) that works, I'd like to
test it. I so hate Vista and need my LiteStep back!

Alternatively, if you recommend a compiler, I can try to compile my own
build from CVS. However, I'd need some instructions, as my programming
skills are restricted to TurboPascal for DOS (my experiments are still
controlled by my trusty old 486)...

LiteStep rulez and, honestly, with Vista being around almost 3 years,
Windows 7 just months away and still no kick-ass LiteStep version for
these OSs being around, I'm starting to believe the rumors and ensuing
flame-wars from the late 1990s/early 00s that LiteStep may finally be dead
:-)

That being said, I more than appreciate all the efforts of the
dev-team: without you, working on computers would have been a
hellish nightmare the last decade! I shiver at the thought of not
being able to use my ten year old desktop anymore in the foreseeable
future. This is a prospect I'm not looking forward to!

Happy holidays and a prosperous new year!
