If you bought the eovia version of Carrara (instead of the Metacreations version with the 1.1 patch), it was included. Since the eovia version is all you can find these days, if you get 1.1, you probably have Toon!.

If you've got the MetaCreations version of Carrara or even Ray Dream and want Toon!, just send me an email and I'll give you a serial number.

Actually there are a few interesting things in store for the Toon! name. I'm currently working on Toon! Pro. It's new renderer and lighting model pair for C4 that produces a much higher quality output than the original Toon! (real antialiasing vs. the blur in Toon!). It will be bundled with a few other new tools including a Wireframe renderer that produces nicer output than the built in one, can be combined with Carrara's normal renders, etc. (think TOXE's (I believe) GI western robots in one render no composition), an anisotropic lighting model, and a lighting model where the glow only shows on the unlite sides of objects (think deathstar).

At or around the same time, I will release the code to the original Toon! and perhaps Anything Glows to the community. I'm not sure what license model for the code release I will choose yet, but I hope it will help a few budding plug-in developers take that next step.
