1. We have a new version of sitemap_gen.py available at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=137793&package_...

Some bug fixes include:
-- Fix platform and python version issues. In some versions of 2.2 and
certain platforms, True was not defined. Gak!
-- Not blow up when dealing with international character encodings.
(e.g., Umlauts in your urls)

2. Some third party tools you guys have built are now linked off
http://code.google.com/sm_thirdparty.html.

Reading the code for the sitemap_gen.py I can see a section designed to
produce indexes, but there is nothing in the configuration or online
advice for how to trigger the production of an index rather than a map.

I've hacked a copy to produce only indexes instead of maps, but
something supported would be nice and perhaps less wasteful of server
time and memory.

On that subject, a way to stop it walking the whole tree by have a
don't walk instruction for sub directories would be good, especially as
indexes and maps are ideally placed in the root directory.

Currently it walks the whole tree ignoring everything I've filtered, ie
all but .gz files which is a bit daft.

Otherwise, thanks for the work so far. It's looking good.
