I'm actually rather surprised this doesn't come up more often, but way
back in August 2001 two patches were proposed:

I use a variant of this patch: once in a while i get into
"ctrl-lock", but if i hit the real caps lock and ctrl keys a couple
times it goes away.  

http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2001/08/msg01075.html

This patch doesn't actually switch ctrl and caps lock.  It just fakes
the keypress events so that xmodmap can actually switch them.
