Give me the record ids and I can give you the command line code.
I just realized I didn't completely answer this. I plan to identify the merge records as the result of an in-db author/title fuzzy match, similar to what you've done in the gui. For a more standard tool, I was thinking something along the lines of calibredb merge targetid currid1 currid2 etc. This could then be passed the ID sets from a parsed calibredb list -s, using the logic from my previous post.
