tetrachoric and polychoric correlations

Do we have any Octave code for computing tetrachoric and polychoric correlations from cross-tabulated data?

R has a package (under GPL) called "polycor":

http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/polycor.html

R also has a package for working with MV normal and t distributions:

http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/mvtnorm.html

For the normal:

dmvnorm gives the density
rmvnorm generates random deviates
pmvnorm computes the distribution function

and more.
