I use ESRI's ArcView GIS (Geographic Information System) with Spatial Analyst to
combine them.  It isn't an inexpensive solution, but there are two other
alternatives that I can think of.

1.  Employ the services of a GIS Analyst.
2.  Manually distort each TGA in Photoshop (or similar app) so that the sides
are parallel, then combine them in same app.
