I have recently extended my script that builds a report from htdig's
stdout stream. Some of it needs the -s output (the list of unindexed
pages) some uses the regular output. It is only tested on 3.1.5 with one
-v on htdig.

You can view the output in http://wwwsearch.ox.ac.uk/report/

Quite right -
 excluding implies no fetching which implies <noindex,nofollow>

That's not one I've found a complete solution to. I tend to have a
smallish number of substantial branches that might be known by multiple
names - usually of the form of www.foo.ox.ac.uk being equivalent to
www.bar.ox.ac.uk/foo/ which I deal with by excluding one of the branches
if I happen to spot to duplication. I know I ought to do it with
url_part_aliases 8-)
