using maxima as a batch operation

I wonder if it would be possible to combine this idea
with the "maxima --server" command to somehow run
Maxima *interactively* from within Octave.

I guess someone would have to come up with a spiffy
Octave script called maxima([COMMAND_LIST]) that takes
a vector of 'quoted maxima commands' and reformats
them to be sent to the running maxima server, then
returns the results in some Octave-usable format.

I believe Octave communicates with gnuplot through a
pipe, so maybe some of the infrastructure is in place
to do something like this.
