Such feature would probably be a good feature of maxima itself, which already 
provides for example the fortran() function to output fortran code.
I already thought about an matlab/octave command, but my lisp knowledge is a 
bit too rusty at the moment to start coding something like that (but I have to 
admit that I think lisp is a very good language to achieve this and since you 
can add lisp functions to maxima I see a certain chance to make that work).
Since I use myself maxima and octave I would be interested to work on that, 
but not before the new year starts.
