AFAIK, we have no news about this, I don't think much happened on adding 
SVG support to it. The development of ccHost take place at 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cctools/, where you can find the most up 
to date info about its status.

Right, this is not what i would call "clipart"

Open Clip Art Library use Public Domain dedication, where attribution is 
not required, probably this is not the license you want.

Once ccHost get support for SVG it think it may be used  in other 
places, for example i imagine a "tips & tricks" collection for Inkscape.

I am not much into it, but www.deviantart.com allow uploading of SVG.

the process seems stalled, some help appears desperately needed, with 
the stopper being the lack of SVG support (php coding), the rest should 
be trivial.
