If you get imagemagick it comes with two useful utilities called
"mogrify" and "convert", which can do the transformation needed in one
step (or indeed the reverse one), as well as downsampling, rotation,
resizing whatever, e.g.:
  convert foo.gif foo.eps
for a simple conversion.

You can also get imagemagick binaries for windows (I had reason to check
recently), if you so desire.
