Subj : Using Rhino to report on JS variable/function scoping

I am trying to achieve the following.

From any given Javascript I need to identify any variables and
functions that have global scope within the context of the Javascript
I am evaluating.

The Javascript will be extracted from web pages so will have
references to the DOM in there as well.  This being the case I do not
want to actually run the script, just extract the information I need
when it becomes available.

I could not see any way to achieve this as the API stands, so I have
started working back through the source assuming that this information
must be available at some point.  If anyone could offer any
advice/pointers to give me a bit of a kickstart (even if it's don't
bother) it would be greatly appreciated.
