Google Sitemap Generation

Just a quick note.  I've been trying to find a tool to tweak google sitemaps and did an off-the-cuff (read, not thorough) comparison of several free sitemap generators.

The best one seems to be GSiteMapper.  It is fairly sophisticated about what it includes and doesn't include, checking with Google for what is already indexed, respects robots.txt, handles session IDs, etc, etc.  Note it must run as administrator under Windows 7 or else it just sits there doing nothing while it is trying to crawl your site.
