I was in precisely the same situation as yourself, which is why I created and
shared the following: http://schestowitz.com/Software/Syndication/ . It
requires a POSIX-compliant environment like BSD/GNU/Linux/UNIX/OS X, or even
Cygwin on Windows, if not virtualisation.
If you had control over the sites that you wish to track, things would be
greatly simplified. There are tools that can generated XML site maps
automatically.
Hope it helps...
