How accessible do the images need to be? Is it decorative fluff?
Important content?

Usually, IMHO, most slideshows I see are decorative fluff. Nice to have,
but don't really affect the purpose of the site if a person can't see
it.

As stated, this particular script rotates the background image of a DIV.
As such, from a semantic standpoint, it's set up as a bit of decorative
fluff. Just a page should work just fine without background images, a
page using this particular slide show should work/read just fine even if
the slideshow itself isn't accessible.
