This has nothing to do with being a newby. Newbies use distributions. Go and
install Fedora, SuSE, Ubuntu, whatever. They compiled wpa_supplicant for
you.
Okay, I see that you work in the embedded space. Maybe I can point to to
bitbake and www.openembedded.org? Here there's a recipe that cross-compiles
wpa_supplicant for you. While OpenEmbedded itself isn't something for
newbies, using it takes away some of the decision-making ("Which config
option do I need?" from you.
But I wouldn't call any embedded work a work for a newbie ...

For wpa_supplicant questions, even when it comes to compiling, try the
hostap mailing list. This list covers both hostap and wpa_supplicant.
BTW, I agree that queries like "Linux wireless introduction" or "Linux
wireless HOWTO" will reveal lot's of outdated stuff.
