Sorry, the robots exlusion standard people (and myself) are ahead of you.
In version 3.1.0b1, htdig accepts the following tag (check
http://www.htdig.org/meta.html for details)

<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

This means exactly as you say. Follow links from the page but don't index
them. There's also <meta name="robots" content="nofollow"> for those pages
that you don't want the URLs followed. :-)
