Not sure at this point. Could go either way.

I looked briefly at the code you mentioned.
Not sure exactly how it works, at this point.

I used Leptonica because it was easy to implement, with files,
but maybe not so easy to integrate when not writing out and reading in files.

I will also be looking at the source for ImageMagick. Leptonica seems
a bit too slow to rotate each frame using the Gumstix CPU. I am not sure at 
this point if the code is taking advantage of any additional DSP or GPU 
that the Omap CPU may have.

I have put this product up on IndieGoGo, so there may be some cash.
I will be updating the YouTube page, and the IndieGoGo page shortly with
some demo videos.
