[xmonad] xinerama and per-screen automatic layout modification

Hi,

I'm using xmonad with two equally-sized screens the left one of which I 
sometimes turn into pivot mode (rotate 90°) to read articles.
Now 'Tall' isn't great on a portrait monitor, so I'm looking for a 
layout modifier that acts as follows:

  * If on the right monitor: No modification
  * If on the left monitor:
      o If in pivot mode, apply the Mirror layout modifier.
      o Otherwise, apply the Reflect layout modifier.
        (because I like my master windows in the center)

Has anybody worked on something like this before?

If not, I'd try to write a contrib module, probably re-using some code 
from Actions.PhysicalScreens.
Any pointers / pitfalls to be expected?

kthx. Best,
Steffen
