If you want to use a sitemap with jekyll, you need to use a plugin like recurser's generate_sitemap.rb.
This works well for static pages and for posts, but won't work out of the box, if you use jekyll-models.
Since I am creating the downloads area of dracoblue.net with jekyll-models, I want to have those downloads in the sitemap.xml, too.
This small patch against generate_sitemap.rb, adds the functionality to render all jekyll-models in the sitemap, too.

To apply the patch: Create a test.patch file and run patch -p0 -i test.patch.
