I'm interested in an Octavized version of Wavelab

I think that if you use HDF5 format you can save structures. You have
to install the HDF5 libraries (http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/) before
you build (or rebuild) Octave in order to get HDF5 support. I believe
that if you build with HDF5 it becomes the default format for saving
data.
