      ...are there any tools for merging multiple Emacs TAGS files?

   cat works fine

Indeed so.  Sigh.  It was too simple.

      vi tags files were single-line entries, so they could be merged
      with sort(1) and friends.

   Do you really want the tags sorted?

Hmmm... upon further reflection, I guess I don't.  That was the
preconception that obscured my thinking.  Thanks!
