Answering my own post, in part ;-)

I had another look at what is possible in M$ Frontallobotomy and
realised that it didn't offer as good as I wanted anyway ;-)

So, through experimentation I have found that trying to achieve what I
wanted requires a combination of 'tree' in the appropriate output format
to list the file hierarchical relationship; konqueror - for it's ability
to create a thumbnail view gallery of all the site's images; and,
klinkstatus to save as a html file a tree output of the site's hyperlink
relationships.  The last package comes as part of kdewebdev, which means
that I already had it installed for the sake of getting quanta-plus :-).
Now, the only thing I am lacking is an ability to print out thumbnail
views of the web pages.  I can display them in konqueror as thumbnails,
but there is no way to print that view or create a gallery as you can
with images :-(.

Hope my journey helps someone else - or if someone is yet to pipe up
with a better GPL way, please let me know :-)
