Cameron, I don't think it is clear what the question is.  Are you just 
asking "How do I write a program to do this" or is there a more specific 
question you have in mind?

I found that I had pretty good luck copying large chunks of the code from 
the ML book verbatim.  The tricky part, I think, is writing the likelihood 
evaluator and the other code that is unique to your problem.
