distglom() should agglomerate taxa based on distances, closely analogous to the way tipglom() agglomerates based on patristic distances from the phylogenetic tree.

Some OTU-clustering applications produce a distance matrix between all reads (e.g. mothur), and this can be imported and then used to further condense the number of "different" taxa according to their distances.
