  Steve,

  you may check GRASS 5.4, it contains the software from Prof Maria Brovelli,
  Italy. See the src.contrib/POLIMICO/ directory.

  Here the README details:

  LIDAR data filtering
  --------------------

  Command execution order:

  1. s.bspline.reg
  2. s.edgedetection
  3. s.growing

  s.bspline.reg/  : bilinear or bicubic spline interpolation Least quares approach
  s.correction/   : DTM correction: error removal (building remainder, vegetation etc)
  s.edgedetection/: detection of building edges, vegetation edges, etc.
  s.growing/      : filling of previously computed edges

  Additional software
  s.to.qrast/     : fast sites to raster conversion (replaces s.to.rast)

  Note that 5.4-CVS contains some updates which will appear in the
  next 5.4.x release of GRASS.

  Hope this helps
