You can do this right now. All you have to do is write some code (I'd
use Perl) to process the tapelist file. Just make sure all four tapes
have the same timestamp (count how many have the most recent timestamp,
then change entries with the oldest until you have four with the new).
Test it with "amadmin <config> tape".
