I would think you might be able to find a commercial
or even possibly a freeware application to do something
like that. I did a quick google search and found:

Synopsis - Visual Programming Tool 1.0

(It's commercial, and costs $150) I didn't look into
it so I don't know if it really does the things you need,
but if such a casual search found this, there must be
other similar applications out there.

By the way, since cost is a big issue, I assume you
have looked at some of the Matlab clones (e.g. Scilab,
Octave, Rlab). Did you think it would be to much work to
get you scripts and functions to work under these systems?
