Here's an idea for a website in similar vein: liquidatemycrypto.com

Given an input of X amount of cryptocurrency Y, it will consult the orderbooks of a number of exchanges that trade it, and tell you how much of it to sell where in order to get the best liquidation price possible, and show you your slippage in percentage lost relative to what you may have thought your coins were actually worth.

IIRC there was a bot in the #bitcoin IRC channel years ago that did exactly that. Afaik it only looked at the Mt. Gox order book but given that Mt. Gox was pretty much a monopoly back then the result was still accurate.
