I don't see how you could get this info without spidering, and once you 
start writing a spider you need to consider all the aspects of cloaking, 
robots.txt, and  dynamic nature (do you want a virtual tree or the real 
deal??). You don't want to gte caught in one of my spidertraps :-)  and 
mine aren't nearly as vicious as many out there.

Quite another story if it is your own site or one you have admin access to.
