FWIW, you can do this with the srecord package. Despite the name, it reads 
and writes a bunch of hex formats and binary, and can convert between them
and apply various other transformations (address shift, byte swapping)
etc.

Note that I'm not objecting to your ITP, only proposing an existing
solution. hex2bin might be simpler to use, although it could probably be
implemented as a simple wrapper script on-top of srecord, and packaged
with it. You can do a hex to binary conversion with:

srec_cat <infile> -Intel -output <outfile> -Binary
