OK, here you go (10.7 MB, if this is too big I can delete the PDF-files, 
than there will be just a few kb):

http://www.thomas-zastrow.de/OpenClipartCatalogue/OpenClipartCatalogue.tar.gz

Unpacking the archive will produce a directory named "catalogue". Please 
put this directory into the OpenClipart-root-directory, where the 
directory "clipart" can also be find (for me it's under 
"openclipart-0.18-full").

Now, there are several files.

1.)
The most important one: "GenerateHTMLFile.pl" This is a Perl-script 
which scans the clipart-directory above and builds HTML-files from the 
found PNG-files. Will work just under Unix/Linux, not under Windows.

2.)
The file "index.html" is the starting-point: From here you can go to the 
other HTML-files which were created by the Perl-script.

3.)
For every *oc.html-file, there is also a PDF-file. Creating this 
PDF-files was the biggest problem: The browsers I use (Firefox, 
Konqueror, Opera) weren't able to print everything in one big file. 
That's the reason why I splitted the HTML-files into more than one. Then 
I created the PDF-files with html2pdf on the command-line.

Suggestions, ideas, critics are always welcome.

Best,

Tom
