converting sh scripts to C code

[Rob Brunner X2830]

Has anyone out there written anything to convert sh scripts to 
C code??  We have quite a few sh scripts around here and they
could run *far*quicker* if converted to C, but before I sit down
and crank them out by hand, I was wondering if anyone else had
encountered this before and had written some sort of something to
do it.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
