How do I move my current active window from one monitor to another using a keyboard shortcut?

I use a multiple-monitor setup on Windows XP. I would like to be able to move the active window from one monitor to the other with a keyboard shortcut. I know that I can use Alt+Space, M , or drag the window with the mouse. But is it possible to do this with a single keyboard shortcut?

This Q is about WinXP, so just for people interested in Win7: WIN+Right/Left Cursor will rotate the current window from current to docked at side of current window, docked at near side of next window, normal in next window, . eventually (depending on monitor count) to where it started.

@Richard: In Win7 you can move the active window from one screen to the other with WIN+Shift+Right/Left.

Hm. the problem is, that in the license agreement there is written: "Noncommercial: You may not use this work for commercial purposes."

@ViliusK Winsplit revolution FAQ says the following: The actual licence's "non-commercial" term just means that you can't directly make benefits with WinSplit Revolution. For example, you can't include it in a commercial package of software that you would sell. But as it is a freeware, you can distibute it freely as often as you want. link
