Such a program should not be complicated to write. But I think that the results could be disapointing. I explain why :
Solidworks stores the assemblies almost like in Ldraw files : a reference to a part and a transformation.
But, the transformation relies on the orientation of the part. As you said, you weren't aware Ldraw part library, there
is a big chance that the orientation of your parts differs from Ldraw library.
I will try to write a quick and dirty converter and send it to you. Give me your feedback.
