I think this will be the least of the problems. All CCD's in consumer cameras
have a glass plate installed over them. As an example here's a photo of the
CCD used in the Olympus D-510 camera (2.1MP):

This glass plate would project well into the travel of the curtain in any of
the OM bodies. The CCD would either have to be modifed or some optics will
need to be designed and placed in front of it so that the image at the film
plane will be re-focused to the CCD plane. Either option is difficult and
likely not worthwhile.
