Xdebug with PHP 5.2 on 64-bit Windows 7?

I would like to install Xdebug (http://xdebug.org/) on my 64 bit Windows 7 machine to debug Drupal code running on PHP 5.2. The Xdebug download page does not provide a download for a 64 bit version compatible with PHP 5.2.

Many Drupal modules are not compatible with PHP 5.3, so it is not an option to switch to a later version of PHP.

What options exist for installing Xdebug in this environment? Is there another source for compiled versions or is there a work-around?

+3  A: 

Download php-5.2.5-x64-2007-11-12.zip from http://www.fusionxlan.com/PHPx64.php. In the ext\ folder there is a php_xdebug.dll which should work on your Windows x64 machine. Add the reference to it in your php.ini like normal and it should work.

Looks interesting. Have you used this yourself?

yeah, it's the only x64 binary with the `apache2handler` sapi. but now i use my own version for PHP 5.3: http://tommymontgomery.com/php64

Any chance that someone might have a copy of the php_xdebug.dll from fusionxlan? The site is down and this would be very helpful for me. I have to run PHP 5.2 and all of the 64 bit xdebug dlls require 5.3

@Jonathan Day - you might try contacting Derick Rethans (the author of xdebug) directly and requesting it; in my experience he's been pretty accommodating for that kind of stuff.
