The only two options that come to mind are

1/ resize the image dynamically on the server, if you're specifying
    a fixed div height, or

2/ use absolute positioning and z-index within the div in question
    to place the images as regular (non-background) content with the
    rest of the content positioned above it. Of course, then you have
    to explicitly handle the repeat-x part, clipping a partial image
    at the end, etc. which sounds like an exercise I'd want to avoid!

    It'd make a good assignment for a JavaScript class, though :-)

FWIW,
