I have a few Facebook friend lists that should really be one; they overlap (some friends are in many of the lists, some not) and have similar names. I'd like to merge these into one list. What's the easiest way to do that?

Scroll to the bottom of the Most Recent feed and click Edit Options. You can adjust the friends in the modal dialog that comes up.
Just found a webapp that may be a start http://dtinth.github.io/friendlist/ it's a bit better as an interface to manage friend lists, but nowhere as powerful as what I would love to have :(
EDIT: Link updated as it was returning a 404. It is worth noting that this development on this web app has been stopped. However, you can find the source code on Github https://github.com/dtinth/friendlist

Use Facebook Graph API /{user-id}/friendlists edge to read the list id, then use /{friendlist-id}/members edge to read its list of members and save it into a text editor.
Join the two results into one, then use the same API to either create a new list or update one of the two lists with the new members.
