I'm not Philip and I completely forget how to coerce windows, but on a
mac you can rebind the command to control via system preferences ->
keyboard. Then hit the modifier keys button and map away.

Of course, this is a global rebinding of the keys. If there's an emacs
only way to rebind it, I'd be interested in learning it too.

Under linux you can get similar functionality in X11 via xmodmap.
