Well, you can use any lith developer, as long as it's diluted enough. 
Freestyle certainly carries lith developer, as does Badger Graphic
Sales, where I buy mine.  I can't remember what it's called but mine
came in two seperate 1 gallon containers.  That's enough to last a very
long time.  Just a minute, I'll run down to my darkroom...OK, here's
what I use.  It's called Photalith 65D. It's made by Allied Photo
Products Company, Inc.  Irwindale CA 91706 (also in Concord NH and
Norcross GA). The catalogue numbers are 28101A (for the part A) and,
although I'm guessing here, 28101B for the part B.

For your information, Part A contains Hydroquinone, Sodium Sulfite,
Boric Acid, Diethylene Glycol, and Sodium Formaldehyde Bisulfite.

If you've got to know what's in part B let me know and I'll post that
too.

This developer has worked very well for dilute lith printing [ala Tim
Rudman] for me.
