Preferred library and/or method of converting CMYK to RGB

Each month I get new CMYK and RGB images that shall be used on the web.

I had a script using a patched up ImageMagick doing this, but it got deleted. So I need to do it again, but it was hard last time.

How do you easily and quickly convert CMYK image files to RGB?

The answer of g.b.1981 basically is correct (+1), but...

To make it work reliable, I found I had to add -type truecolor to the commandline:

convert cmyk.jpg -colorspace rgb -type truecolor rgb.jpg
