With postscript, it works well. (The option is really "-append".)

However, appending to pdf fails on my system:

x=1:100;
plot (x,x)
print -dpdf z.pdf
plot (x,-x)
print -dpdf z.pdf -append
plot (x,x.*x, x,x+20)
print -dpdf z.pdf -append

However
   gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=new.pdf \
   z1.pdf z2.pdf -c quit
works OK, so there seems to be a some small mistake in the patch. Can you 
please fix it?
