What you're looking at may be closer to autogenerated documentation
than to a classic site map. There are a variety of tools that generate
HTML pages on the basis of *certain information found in* all the
files in a directory (as opposed to the entire content of those
files). What you're trying to do may be sufficiently specific that it
doesn't already exist, but it might be worth having a quick look at
autodoc/doxygen - at least for some ideas.
