The functions you are looking for are in the OCST (Octave Control
System Toolbox) from Scottedward Hodel

 ftp://ftp.eng.auburn.edu/pub/hodel/OCST-981012.tar.gz

The documentation is already included in the Octave manual.
In Octave the command "sysconnect" is a superset of MATLABs
cloop (see examples below)

MATAB4:   [Acl,Bcl,Ccl,Dcl]=cloop(a,b,c,d,1);

Octave:    Scl=sysconnect(s,[1 2],[1 2]);
           or
           Scl=buildssic([1 2],[],[1 2],[1 2],s);
