FWTools is a nice converter, but you don't have alot of options with how it does it's conversion unless you really dig around into how it functions.
I developed an app that uses FWTools and to do the conversion and then lets you set some simple properties for the lines, ie color and width, and a few other things, but I haven't had a chance to release it to the public yet. But FWTools is a very good place to start.
