Probably possible, yes, but you may have to link to a lot of other
unwanted stuff.  Extracting the code to use in some stand alone
program is always possible too, but might not be very easy either.

Sorry, this code was never really intended to be used outside of
Octave...

If you do use it, just remember that it is GPL'd.
