thanks for the upload; i have installed the files and updated the
catalogue repository.
Users may view the package's catalogue entry at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/pst2pdf.html
or browse the package's directory at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst2pdf/
The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.

pst2pdf – A script to compile PSTricks documents via pdfTeX
The script extracts the preamble of the document and runs all
\begin{postscript}...\end{postscript}
\begin{pspicture}...\end{pspicture} and
\pspicture...\endpspicture
separately through LaTeX with the same preamble as the original document; thus it creates EPS, PNG and PDF files of these snippets. In a final pdfLaTeX run the script replaces the environments with \includegraphics to include the processed snippets.
Detail documentation is acquired from the document itself via Perldoc.
