Carnë,

Any progress on implementing a compliant inputParser?

I had contacted Nico Schlomer and cooperated with him to modify his matlab2tikz 
to allow it to run on Octave. He had made good use of Matlab's inputParser. The 
replacement used by matlab2tikz contains much of the same functionality.

You may find some code there that is helpful toward your effort (Take a look at 
matlab2tikzInputParser.m)
