On Windows it can be done with a simple registry change. The key mapping 
is held
in the registry, so no "extra software" as such.

The computers I did most of my early programming on had the control key
where the caps lock is these days. So I usually remap caps lock to 
control. I
find this easier on the left pinkie.
