I think the programs that will allow you to do this will require a significant
amount of user intervention.  You can use Tracer, available on sonata, which
attempt to follow curves, or you can use Adobe Illustrator's autotrace
feature to do small cuts of the Beziers in question.  The final option is
to load the image into your favorate drawing app, magnify it as much as 
possible, and then hand-draw to individual curves.  I think you will find the
latter yeilds the best results.
