Retrieve the admin menu links

Hi! I am hacking the buddypress admin menu, and I successfully added the list of pages as a drop-down menu. This is easy, using

wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’)

Now I am trying, without success, to make the equivalent for the administration menus, you know, the sidebar on the left when accessing wp-admin/ location. From the HTML code I see that this is a list UL with ID=adminmenu, but I see no reference in the wp function list.

Am I missing something? Is there a magic wp_admin_sidebar( ) ? ??
