Some time ago I wrote a prototype to collect and test spice models.
http://www.h-renrew.de/h/spicelib/doc/index.html

The prototype contains the description how to automatically collect the 
models. It is not a collection of models. You don't have to 
redistribute the models and you don't need the permission of the vendor 
to redistribute them.

I just don't care about it. (.mod, .txt, ...)
