I am currently adding new features to ddrescuelog and this could be one 
of them. It could be implemented like this:

  ddrescuelog -i<start> -s<size> --change-types=<old_types>,<new_types> 
logfile > new_logfile

This would change all blocks in domain (<start>, <size>) from one type 
in <old_types> to the corresponding type in <new_types>, much like the 
"tr" command does.

What do you think?

Antonio.
