[Eeglablist] Merging two datasets *after* appending eventlists

[Makoto Miyakoshi]

Dear Grusha,

> after appending eventlists on both the sets

First of all, why do you need to do it manually? I thought EEGLAB merge
dataset operation can do it well (slow though). Please tell me more about
this part.
