Alright, I know it is months later, but I finally figured this out (with lots of help). It turns out you can use the MediaWiki sitemap maintenance script to create an index xml and sitemap xml.gz's, which can be read as a sitemap (i.e. there is no reason to make one file, as I had erroneously assumed). See http://forums.appropedia.org/blog/making-sitemap-opensource-documentation-wi... the specifics.
Thank you all, Lonny

There seems to be two problems with http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Google_Sitemap
- In newer MW installations, this extension breaks Special:Version.
- There seems to be a 5000 entry limit.
Is anyone using the maintenance/generateSitemap.php that is included in MediaWiki 1.6 and above? If so, how are you combining the outputed gz files into one sitemap.xml?
Thank you, Lonny
