I threw together a perl script that does something similar.  You can 
view the results at:

http://www.3times25.net/lucy/gallery/

It generates the html as well as the thumbnails.  I would doubt it's any 
better then anything you'd find at freshmeat, but you're welcome to it 
if you'd like.  It resizes the images for display on the webpage so you 
might want to change that if you don't want it to do that.  It does 
retain the original images intact.

Currently it only operates on file names passed on the command line 
though, not directories:

makewebpics *.jpg

requires perl and imagemagic.
