Could you tolerate a non-integrated system and measure pixel coordinates and
corresponding true world coordinates with a separate program and feed in these
ground control points from command line? In this case you could use
gdal-programs (gdal_translate and gdalwarp) and get a single mosaiced
georeferenced image.  Download FWTools package, it includes both gdal tools and
OpenEV Viewer that can be used for defining ground control points.
