To get a list of all pages on a site, use the ListPages() function:

    $allpages = ListPages();

To narrow that down to a list of groups, we can just strip out
everything before the period:

    $listofgroups = array();
    foreach(ListPages() as $pn) {
      $group = preg_replace('/\\..*/', '', $pn);
      $listofgroups[$pn]++;
    }
    $listofgroups = array_keys($listofgroups);

To get a list of pages within a specific group is much easier:

    $pagesingroup = ListPages('/^Group\\/.');

Yes, all of this can also be done with the pagelist.php functions,
but the above is currently quicker and a little more straightforward.
