The reason for SDL's craziness and why I have suggested a shell script is easy - you can make a some kind of X hack that works on your computer using one extension, but I compile the program on my computer and it is very likely that either the resolution is not available, the extension is not available/working with my X and driver or some other weird problem happens. In that case relying on external (and supposedly working) tools can save your bacon. I wouldn't like to have to implement resolution switching logic for X having to juggle X11 calls to the older extensions, newer RandR stuff (that is incompatible with them) and most recently the various OpenGL compositing managers like Compiz, where the situation is yet different (you could be running on a nested X server and your application calls are actually proxied). Are you ready to handle all of this?
