Refile whole org-mode files as trees?

I have a directory full of org-mode files. Each file is structured into multiple trees like the following.

This is the first file

* First item
** Subitem 1
** Subitem 2
* Second item

I want to combine all of these files into a single file, where each file has it's own tree. So it would look something like this.

* file1.org
This is the first file
** First item
*** Subitem 1
*** Subitem 2
** Second item
* file2.org
This is the second file.
** First item
** Second item ...

What is the easiest way to make this happen using elisp?

This can certainly be improved, but should work pretty well:

rm combined.org tmp.org ;
for i in *.org ; do 
    touch combined.org ; 
    echo "* $i" > tmp.org;
    sed "s/^\*/**/" "$i" | cat combined.org tmp.org - > combined.org.tmp ;
    mv combined.org.tmp combined.org ;
done
