The idn program that comes with GNU libidn can do that:

http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/

It's a command-line utility.  If you want to run it on a Windows
machine, it can probably be built using Cygwin (but don't ask me how--I
know nothing about Windows).

By the way, you need to consider whether you just want the Punycode
encode operation, or the entire ToASCII operation (including Nameprep
etc).  The idn program can do either.
