RedHat (at least, the 4.1 release that I have) comes with a package
called ImageMagic which has a pant-load of converters. And a nice
interface to them - simply say  "convert src dest" and it figures
out what to do by the extensions.

I think that it is freely available, but I don't know where you'd
find it.
