Go to WWW.Simware.com and download a copy of their free migration
utility called RMT.  It is an amazingly powerful tool that will not
only snoop out your bindery and give you reports in more detail that
you can believe, it will allow you to model your new tree, clean up
the trash, etc, etc.  The version I have used is RMT 1.55, which was
designed for NW4.11.  The last time I looked, the had a beta version
of the one for NW5.0, which used Java. 
You can either go directly to their website, or go through Novell's
web site and follow links to migration utilities.
Even if you don't us RMT for the final migration, it will meet your
auditing needs .
