ls is good at many things :-) and you could construct an interesting 
pipeline grepping for things that would be fun ...

ls -lR|grep ^d

but this doesn't list the full name of the directories, and without 
employing cut(1) leaves you with too much output.

Try the 'tree' program in universe, tree -d does a good portion of what 
you want, -df does more ...
