Bitmapped to vector converter code

[voglinog at agr04-ip.sgs-thomson.it]

    Ciao.
 
    I have a lot of black&white bitmapped drawings (the source format
    may be one of .tif, .gif, .pcx, ....) to convert into vectorized
    images such as DXF.
 
    I know that GRASS is able to do that but I like to know which pieces
    can be put together to build a standalone bitmapped->vector conversion.
    Even if it is necessary to pass through an intermediate format.
 
    Can anybody help me in some way ?
 
THANKS.

It is not for commercial purposes. The drawings concern the place where
my parents live.
