Can this be extended to also copy images from other Wikimedia projects,
particularily Wikibooks and Wikisource?

Actually I have hacked Eloquence's script to go in reverse, downloading
images instead of uploading them. I have not made the script public yet,
but basically I download files, edit files.txt, and reupload them to a
different wiki.
