The source distributions listed at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html#source do not specify any as the Windows source distribution. I downloaded the .zip file, thinking that might be the one, but it is not.
I just downloaded it, and it looks like the source code to me. I think you're just not finding the build instructions, or not understanding them.
The zip file contains just one top-level directory, mysql-5.0.67. Inside that is a file called INSTALL-WIN-SOURCE. Read it, ignoring the claims that you should find .sln files within the package; it's clearly outdated information. You will probably need to get cmake from somewhere to generate the .sln and .vcproj files. At that point, building MySQL should be straightforward.
Getting it to find the openssl libraries, as discussed on the other list, is another question...
I've not done this myself, just reporting on what I've figured out in a few minutes' poking around.
