Give me a shout if you'd like to see the MATLAB code and get it working on the device.
GNU Octave (a MATLAB equivalent, with strong compatibility) has been available off and on for the ITs; it's probably slower than reimplementing, even in an interpreted language, but might be easier...
Anyway, any chance you could post it? or please PM me with it, if you're not interested in posting it publicly (for whatever reason)...

If it looks easy enough, I'll most likely re-implement it in C, and get a CLI/scriptable engine going, and let someone else make a python or C/GTK front-end.
