That's odd.  PBM is _THE_ definitive conversion suite.

What's wrong with programs?  It fits into the "Unix way" of doing things:
small programs that do one thing and do them well.

And you're probably going to end up with a bunch of command line interfaces
to the same library anyway.  Might as well start off in that direction.

Not to mention that you seem to be wanting to maintain an X * X number of
conversions.  That's going to be rather unmanageble.  The PBM method, of
having 2 * X number of conversions will work much better.
