The st command should and will merge back, but it's quite a job, because
the scsi tape driver has quite a lot of differences from
the standard dumb tape model.

the format of the status struct is radically different and
it will take a day or so to merge them back..

in the meanwhile st(1 or 8) is too useful to not have available.
