I wrote such a beastie a little time ago!  I have permission to release it,
so if anyone else wants it I'll mail it to them (or even post if there is
enough demand).

It tries to handle most RUNOFF constructs (with varying degrees of success).
There is also a facility to embed LaTeX commands in RUNOFF documents as
RUNOFF comments, to suppress translation and output of sections of RUNOFF text
and various other little goodies.

Source is in lex (sorry to the pure VMS community, but I never got around to
re-writing in plain C) and VAX C.
