Taking a quick peek...

http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/bookreader
^ open source, under AGPLv3. License probably ok for embedding, but maybe
not linking directly into MediaWiki. Licensing is hard. :)

However, it doesn't seem to directly support DjVu -- it's a wrapper around
extracted image files and some additional metadata, from what I can see. If
going from a DjVu source file, I assume they're extracting page images
similarly to what we do in our viewer.

I would certainly recommend we take some user interface ideas through, our
multi-paged image view desperately needs improvement!
