I wrote a Perl script to do this a while back.  the results were less 
than satisfactory:  The maps were off where the sides meet by some 
scaling factor.  In one example one if the cities (including about 2/3 
of the incorporated area) appeared twice.  All roads were disjoint 
along the sides and at the top and bottom near the sides.

In case anyone cares, I've attached the script.
