try this:
http://code.google.com/p/filemerger/

this is something I produced long time ago, to get done what I needed.
its very basic and need a lot enhancement, but it works and got my work

it can find specified type of file from a folder (or even a tar.gz ball)
and cat them into a big file with(or without) an additional mark for Vim
VOom plugin(my favorite).

let me know if you have any questions.
