Doublestrusion
I have a dual extruderFlashForge Creator Pro. I have a bunch of small parts to make. Smaller than the distance between the two extruders. I would like to get my printer going in a mode where the two extruders do the exact same thing at the exact same time, producing two copies of the exact same part in different places. Is anybody doing this? What would the gcode look like? Are there any tools out there that would create such G code, or would I have to write it myself?

Yes.
This is done on a Hyrel via the built-in "clone" function, with no changes to the gcode for a single part.

Cool! Now, can any available software help me do that on my FlashForge? Slic3r, Cura, Skeinforge, anything?

Nope - as far as I know it's just the hyrel that does this.

If you have a maker (clone) with Sailfish firmware, you can turn on 'Ditto printing' in the firmware. You just slice a single object and use ditto to run both extruders at the same time. The firmware just copies the extruder operations to both extruders on the fly ...

and if you don't have a Sailfish firmware, you can do it manually by running the gcode through a processing script/program: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:24195
