Take a look at http://anonimo.isr.ist.utl.pt:8080/~etienne/octave/

Etienne Grossman wrote a downsimplex routine which uses Nelder-Mead
simplex algorithm.  This is exactly what fmins uses.  

P.S.  This question has come up a lot lately.  Maybe this routine should
be included with the bleeding-edge releases of Octave.(I think it
should.)
