If I'm not mistaken, http://www.scilab.org/products/xcos is an approximate
equivalent of 'simulink'.

So, maybe it has to be _ported_ to Octave - rather than developed from
scratch.

P.S. IMO 'scilab' has more features (I mean, with tools other than core
'scilab'), but inferior interpreter. It's a pity there is no FOSS project
combining the best of the two worlds.

'scilab' license is now compatible with GPL.
