I waited for a day in case someone offered a better idea, and to
ponder the problem.  Without active cooperation from the target
repositories, I don't see any better way than screen-scraping.  This
will be an *interesting* challenge, since DSpace has used three
radically different UI frameworks implementing subtly distinct path
designs.

If I were in your place, I would seriously consider whether it might
be easier to vigorously advocate PMH to those repositories.

I suppose that you could ask each repo. for a dump of its metadata.
