Change the script?

Considering <text>, <void> and <null> don't exist, no. Well, there's
nothing stopping you from putting it into your page, but any browser
that did anything with it would be misbehaving.

Apart from getting the cgi to return an image (noting the caveats
mentioned by David), the only reliable way of including it would be
through SSI (or PHP, ASP etc.).
