Thanks to all for the suggestions.  It took us a little longer than
expected, but Michael and I have put together a pretty useful
thumbnail and examples gallery.  The thumbnails are generated by
matplotlib from all the code in the examples directory, including
those that generate multiple images.  Click on any thumbnail and
you'll be taken to a page for that example which has the full
resolution image, syntax highlighted source code, and link to the
source for download.  Because the images and thumbnails are generated
"live" from the source, they are more or less guaranteed to work, at
least with the version of mpl we used to build the docs (typically svn
HEAD).

And the full text of the examples are searchable from the search tool -- see
