When you connect, indicate you want membership change messages.  Every 
time you receive one, you'll have the current "user" list for a group. 
You get one when you join a group to form your initial list.

AFAIK, there is no way to query the group for membership directly.  You 
have to indicate you want membership change messages *per connection*, 
not per group.

See http://spread.org/docs/spread_docs_4/docs/sp_receive.html, 
specifically the "If This is a MEMB_MESSAGE ..." section.
