SLICS can do it, but it is a windows program. I am not aware of a tool
that does this for Unix. Of course you can write some small script
(using awk, perl, sed) to generaty true PGN games (this is more or less
easy), but you will have to alter this script for every different source
format. I have hacked already some awk scripts to convert FICS or old
XBoard format to PGN and cbascii PGN/FEN to LaTeX. Email me if
interessted in those examples.
