I have done this in php with gd and ImageMagick in the past, but this a
desktop application  that will allow more finegrained control of the
combined output image and the source handling in the future. Sure there are
many options to do it, I even created a photoshop action to do it, but none
of these are really doing the trick for me. Just sharing :)

Have you had a look at ImageMagick? The ImageMagick tool montage should do 
what you need. I guess you could also profit from writing a GIMP script foo 
if ImageMagick is not an alternative for you.

I don't whant to neglect your efforts, just give you some tips how to
overcome 
your current restrictions almost for free. I guess you would have a hard
time 
to find an image format usable for the web that is not supported by GIMP, 
extending the script to multiple rows is very simple and you have any
scaling 
and extending functions you might whant to have for images with different 
sizes.
