Piet van Oostrum says they have a wp2latex converter in their
archives (University of Utrecht).
Here is what I found thanks to many useful hints:

>From lut.fi by anonymous ftp wp2latex.lzh
from suphys.physics.su.oz.au wp2latex sources in C and Pascal (including
makefile and .doc).
I tried the latter one and it is working well on wp51 documents!
Some features of wp are not converted such as:
- margin settings
- newspaper style columns
- line spacing
- top and bottom margins
- index
- references
- end-notes
- table of contents
- graphical images

In particular for publications written in wp51 it is annoying that references
are not converted.

Second: these sources originate from the University of Eindhoven
(Ron Helwig, rcronh at urc.tue.nl) so I have a feeling that the source of
Piet van Oostrum might be the same as this one.
