Well, /I/ quite like LOOP :).  It's certainly more succint than
the equivalent maphash:

(let ((nicks ()))
  (maphash (lambda (k v) (push k nicks))
           erc-channel-users) nicks)

Maybe that's just me :).

Anyway, I found erc-get-channel-nickname-list, which pretty much
does what I want.

I've committed this now (as erc-nicklist.el), feel free to fix
things and/or make improvements.  There's a TODO list in the
comments near the top of the file of things I felt need to be
done.  A few are probably difficult, if not impossible, to
achieve without some major work in making Emacs do clever things
to keep windows together.

I probably won't be able to do much work on stuff in the next
six weeks or so, since I have exams I really ought to be
learning for, but I'll try and answer queries if people have any.
