It ain't perfect (no highlighting), but how's this script? You'll need
a fairly recent cvs version to get 'ratpoison -c groups' to dump the
groups list on the command line rather than in a window.

--------------------snip--------------------
#!/bin/sh

# we want to cope with spaces in group names
IFS='
'

#initialize our list
list=''

GROUPLIST=$(ratpoison -c groups)
SED_GET_NUM='s/^\([0-9]*\).*/\1/'


FIRSTGROUPNUM=$(echo "$GROUPLIST"|head -1|sed -e "$SED_GET_NUM")
LASTGROUP=$(echo "$GROUPLIST"|tail -1)
CURRENTGROUPNUM=$(echo "$GROUPLIST"|grep '^[0-9]*\*'|sed -e "$SED_GET_NUM")

ratpoison -c "gselect $FIRSTGROUPNUM"

for i in $GROUPLIST; do 
    list=$(printf '%s%s\n%s' "$list" "$i" "$(ratpoison -c windows|sed -e 's/^/ 
/')"); 
    if [ "$i" != "$LASTGROUP" ]; then
        list="${list}
"
    fi
    ratpoison -c gnext
done; 

# echo "$list"
ratpoison -c "echo $list"
ratpoison -c "gselect $CURRENTGROUPNUM"

I'd like to see the echo command support highlighting from the command
line. Highlighting multiple regions would be cool too. Something like

  echo bar 0 1 2 3

would highlight 'b' and 'r'; or more conveniently,

  echo +b+a+r+ +
  echo |b|a|r| |

to do the same thing (i.e. take the last argument as a separator).
