I suspect you were reading installation instructions for multiple OS platforms. The "./configure; make" song-and-dance is a common way to do an install on *nix platforms. I suspect that all you needed to do on Win32 was to run the MSI file and you're good to go. I don't know about the Google Sitemap side of things, but I suspect you've already successfully installed Python. -tkc (PS: You wouldn't happen to have attended Messiah College...I knew a Joy Hunsberger who attended there and wondered if you're the self-same person.
