Nah - ratmenu will does the trick with a little scripting. I tried
writing it as a shell command - then a script - and kept getting bit
by backtick parsing not recognizing quotes :-(. So I gave up and wrote
it in Python. Apologies to anyone who uses it and has to change the
paths.

"""Use the ratpoison command to build a menu of windows to hand to ratmenu.

Any arguments will be passed to ratmenu before the list of window menu 
entries."""

import sys, os

argv = sys.argv
argv[0] = "ratmenu"

winfile = os.popen('ratpoison -c "windows %n:%s:%t"')
for win in winfile.readlines():
    number, status, name = win.split(':', 2)
    argv.append('%s%s%s:ratpoison -c "select %s"' %
                (number, status, name[:-1].replace(':', '!'), number))
winfile.close()

os.execv("/usr/X11R6/bin/ratmenu", argv)
