This week I discovered to my annoyance that Digital Photo Professional, which
I use with my XTi, doesn't handle .CRW, the old Canon RAW mode. To get images
taken with my G-5 and my wife's S50 into DPP, I had to edit them with
Zoombrowser and save them as TIFF files.
DPP does not list the G5 or the S50 as a supported camera - the only
PowerShot listed is the Pro1, and the support is limited. It does
support the .CRW file format
Is there a free (or at least cheap) converter from .CRW to .CR2?
I'm not aware of one.
You didn't mention what you use to process your pictures. If you use
Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, you might consider converting your
RAW images to DNG. The converter is free, and the latest version will
work with XTi RAW files.
I'm using version 3.0.2.6 of DPP, which I believe is the latest and greatest.

I'm not aware of a utility that will convert .CRW to .CR2.
Unless you're married to using DPP to process your images, you might
consider converting your RAW images to the DNG format. To the best of
my knoweledge, DPP cannot work with DNG files.
The utility is free, and it supports all three cameras you mentioned.
