Hi Phil, thank you for pushing me in the right direction.
Of course that's possible. I'll have to use website/unix.html etc. but these do give me the required information. And http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/binaries/freebsd-64/ and friends provide the links to all available binaries. I thought I couldn't "glob" a URL like http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/binaries/freebsd-64/* to get all available files but the index page *does* include all links.
