I agree!  I do multiple images all the time.  gerbmerge is your friend. 
  A little gerbmerge action and a good pair of tin snips makes this a 
reality.  Now that Eagle puts the drill table in the excellon file (as 
of a year ago, maybe more) gerbmerge can merge drill tables from 
multiple designs as well!  And there is no limit on number of different 
drill sizes.  happy happy joy joy.  :)

The only downside is the rapid rise in their prices - used to be, $25? 
lot fee and 40c? 50c? sq inch.  Now its $44 and 64c.  Unless its gone up 
again since I started typing this email...  However that $10 fee (I 
don't remember that, but certainly could have been) doesn't happen anymore.
