I have used hugin but it has been a while.  As long as you have enough
points tied together, it works fine.  The more points the better tho.
It has been updated several times since I used it last so it may be
better or worse now.

I have taken as many as 30 pictures and stitched them together.  I had
three rows of 10.  It was of a park and it looked great when done.  It
took a couple tries to get it just right but it did a good job and that
was a good size project.  Doing 4 or 5 pictures is pretty easy.  Lots of
overlap is the key tho.

I don't know of anything else that can do this.  GIMP and such might
could depending on if the image needed some subtle stretching or
something to fit together.

My advice, hugin is likely your best bet.
