None, it is already (and freshly) done in Pidim revision 18.
The program is called pidim_ctrl_swap you can check out it by:

$ svn co https://herewe.servebeer.com/svn/pidim
$ more README
#install required libraries and dev files
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make && sudo make install
$ pidim_ctrl_swap [instance_name_or_simply_number]
