I've attached an .EXE of a rough-sketch for a staircase maker.

I'd eventually like to make controls for rounding the corners of the steps and for things like spiral staircases, rope bridges, etc.

For now this will just produce a series of planes fitted together like a hollow staircase.
If someone can take this idea and make something more elaborate, then by all means go for it!

Not necessary ,the fewer polygons the better, unless you need a high poly model.

Still, I wonder if there is an easy way to make some of the steps a little jagged, like in the ruins of a temple.

Something like this:

Yeah, you can play with vertexdata to get that, like Monocoder did here:
