It's funny you mention this - I just posted an answer to this in the 
MetaCard list. You've already gotten all the caveats from others on 
this list, so if you really want to do it, here's how:

For OS X you can download and implement Jon's Commands X with 
AppleScript (http://www.seanet.com/~jonpugh/). He has an AppleScript 
command called "screen list" that lets you get data on one or more 
screens, and "set screens to" to change them. Or you can use the 
'cscreen' command line application, although the original developer has 
gone "off the grid" and his site is nowhere to be found (but you might 
be able to scare it up with a web search).

For Windows, you can use one of these three third-party command line 
executables ("MultiRes", "Resolution Changer", or "VidRes"):
