st: adding variable name to value label

Hi Stata users:
I'd like to add variable names to value labels. For example, I have the following variables:
Q1: 1=yes, 2=no
Q2: 1=male, 2=female
I'd like to convert the value labels to something like below:
Q1: 1="Q1-yes" 2="Q1-no"
Q2: 1="Q2-male" 2 "Q2-female"
This is for matching two files generated by tabout. Because of zero count for certain values, the two files cannot be matched sequentially.
Is there a simple way to do this?
Thanks a lot.
