Linda:
With CD distribution you do have the luxury of allowing a certain "bloat" to your code as you don't have to worry about download times etc. so in that regard you might as well just hard code your breadcrumbs. This of course does make updating a nightmare especially if your CD-based site is going to be large.
Alternatively you could try a client-side Javascript approach. I'm just brainstorming here so don't take this as the best way of doing it, but you could have an external data source storing your tree data (a series of Javascript arrays held in a common external JS file) and generate HTML with document.write() for the relevant path for a specific page based on parameters you give it.
That way you can have breadcrumb changes reflect across the site by editing a single file/set of files as you would do with moretraditional back-end approaches.
Food for thought?
