st: Merge with "value labels" of same name but differnet contents

[Jens Lauritsen - EpiData Association <JL@epidata.dk>]

I tried to find an ado for merging datasets to handle the situation that 
the files have the same names for value label definitions but the contents 
were different.
e.g.
dataset one: label v1  is: 1 yes 2 no applied to variable d1
dateset two: label v1 is : 1 small 2 medium 3 large applied to variable s1

When merging data either d1 or s1 gets wrong labels.
Any suggestions apart from going back to the definition in the old files 
and renaming there ? (before I write an ado to handle this).
