Amazing ! I just downloaded
http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/downloads/Dresden-2009/fiji-win32-20090429.zip
and before reading the instructions :-) pointed the macro "Stitch
Directory with Images (unknown configuration)" to my directory
containing 4 arbitrarily overlapping images - and up came the stitched
image within 2 seconds. Magic. Thanks Dan, and all Fiji contributors.

Actually my images are not of high enough resolution to make exact
pixel registration essential, and the relative coordinates of my 4
cameras are fixed, so registration is not a real problem. But auto
Fiji stitching is so simple, fast and powerful. I wonder why it can't
also be used as a plugin to mageJ.

Thanks again for all the good suggestions from the mailing list. Alan.
