Heya, Greg and others...
I finished the Makefile for packaging and installation for clipartbrowser (check out from cvs as module: clipartbrowser).
Please check it out and test it out.
Greg, I think clipartbrowser.py should be renamed clipartbrowser, and then it needs to be installed into /usr/bin
Right now everything is by default getting installed into /usr/share/clipartbrowser
I removed the installation into Inkscape's extensions directory and focused on just getting the Makefile to build zip, tar.gz, tar.bz2 and make install and uninstall working.
Please check over so we can do the first release of clipartbrowser under the Inkscape project and add it to the main sf.net Inkscape page.
There is still more to do, but these changes should move it closer to being a nice good linux citizen standalone from Inkscape.
Jon
