The script probbaly should limit itself with convert commands
not full shell scripts.   That is a lot more difficult!

Comment handling should only be done if a space preceeds the '#'
otherwise it may be a color such as   '#FFBBCC' or  xc:#00BBCC


# Replace the UNIX comment sign '#' by two double colons '::'
# ensuring it is at the start of a line.
# WARNING: do not do if a non-space is before the '#' (color!)
s/^ *#/::/
s/\(.\)  *#/\1\n::/


In unix you can make the script executable and start it with
#!/bin/sed -f

Then you can run it like
   im_unix2win.sed linux_command > window_command

Ending the script name in ".sed" is optional, but probably a good idea.
