See <http://hugin.sourceforge.net/> for a tool that will allow you to
stitch together a larger image from partial scans. This sounds like
just the right tool to use when scanning large circuit diagrams on a
scanner that can't capture the whole document in one pass.

I've been using the Gimp, for all my image processing needs:

Note that for stitching scans, you want to configure hugin for an
"ideal camera". The more common panoramic settings should NOT be
used.

Now I have not tried it with scans, but it sure can stitch together
photographs amazingly well. I suspect it will work just as well with
scans that are off-angle, etc.

I tried hugin on some overlapping picture sets I had and the results
came out pretty good. This was mostly automated. I occasionally had
to pick a few control points to line up pictures, but this was very
quick.

Stitching together 360 degree panoramas involves transformations
that you DON'T want for stitching together scans. Scans are made
of portions of a 2D object all lying in the same plane. The only
thing you do to stitch them together is rotate them so they overlap.
(with perhaps a *very* small amount of resizing).
If the program you suggest can be configured to do that, it might
work as well as hugin. I haven't looked at the one you suggest,
but most photo stitching programs are intended to be easy to use
for panoramas and therefore don't give you the amount of control
needed for the theoretically simpler problem of stitching scans.
