Well that's ambitious! If you know how the images overlap, one could call cpfind manually on each valid image pair just to get the control points for that pair, then combine all the pairs' control points into one big project file. I think actually using the Hugin GUI might be out of the question - unless you replace the images themselves with 1x1 pixel dummies, and even that might not work - but you might be able to use the command line tools by themselves to optimise and remap the images. How long it would take is another question entirely...
So, 100,000 images with a 1900mm lens... is the end result to be 360x180, with each image covering a little under a square degree?
