I just included it in the Wiki. I was going to do this a while ago ... but like other things..
Here is the link: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ManualToolChangeMacro I included it on the main wiki page - look for "tool change" I believe this is accurate. Several people have used, or actively use this, and I haven't heard of any issues with it. I have not used it myself yet. But I could see where it could be very useful in certain circumstances. Give it a try and let us know how it turns out.
