The HDFEOS-to-GeoTiff Conversion Tool (HEG) is another piece of
software
(which conveniently also runs on Windows computers) that also does
these
kinds of conversions.

At NSIDC, we typically run ms2gt, the MODIS Swath to Grid Toolbox to
do these kinds of conversions:

http://nsidc.org/data/modis/ms2gt/

We like this tool because it can use weighted elliptical averaging
when doing the re-gridding. This eliminates some of the re-gridding
artifacts you sometimes see in other methods. This is available
only on UNIX computers and, alas, the documentation of this product
is somewhat out of date. You might need some help getting it set
up.

Cheers,

David
