A better way might be to use Javascript. Create
a form just like the login form on the site, but
change everything to hidden fields. Then add a
javascript function to automatically post the
form when the page loads.

Parsing the pages would require regular expressions. That's not
such a big deal in itself, but calculating relative links,
finding the titles/descriptions of those links, etc., may add
up to a lot of work.
What may make life easier is if you could take advantage of an
existing HTML parser. If you have some duct tape and paper clips
handy, here's an idea that might work:
1) Write some javascript code to find all the links on the current
page, stick them in a WDDX object, and send it back to a CF template
via a form.
2) Write a CF template that grabs a given page, inserts the
javascript and form in step 1, and sends the modified page
to the browser.
