AutoStitch is the world's first fully automatic 2D image stitcher. Capable of stitching full view panoramas without any user input whatsoever, AutoStitch is a breakthrough technology for panoramic photography, VR and visualisation applications. AutoStitch is built using cutting edge research from the AI lab at UBC, but it's incredibly simple to use! Just select a set of photos, and AutoStitch does the rest: digital photos in, panoramas out.

...cuz I know some of you travel and take pho-tee-grawfs and stuff.
Krita (http://www.koffice.org/krita/) (a kde/koffice based image editor) has had a pretty decent panoramic auto stitcher for a while now.
Photoshop has some great tools for stuff like this.
