I tried this, but it seems it only adds the lines to the immediate parent
and not recursively up each parents parent (uhh, confusing)

  <xsl:for-each select="ancestor::post">
   <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="following-sibling::post">
      <img align="middle" src="/community/images/straight.gif"  alt=""
border="0"/>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
       <img align="middle" src="/community/images/blank.gif"  alt=""
border="0"/>
        </xsl:otherwise>
     </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:for-each>
