Discussion of John Coyrat's zip code polygon merge program

Combining polygons is not as simple and straightforward as it might seem. There are several function libraries available to do this, but the hands down best way is to use the geomunion function in the open source PostGIS extension of the open source database PostgreSQL. As a second and also good library to use is the GPC library.
