Performing Blast/Smithwaterman Searches Directly From My Application

Bringing in my questions from stackoverflow:

I'm working on a small application and thinking about integrating BLAST or other local alignment searches into my application. My searching has only brought up programs, which need to be installed and called as an external program.

Is there a way short of me implementing it from scratch? Any pre-made library perhaps?

Also the SeqAn C++ library may be useful to some.
