Convert 4 NURBs into an interpolated Patch?

Given 4 NURBS connected curves, is there a way in Houdini to turn them into a NURBS surface patch that interpolates the opposing edge curves?

I remember this was something one could do in LightWave or Modo.

Cheers

Answer was Skin SOP with each set of opposing curves fed to one of the two inputs.

Skin SOP is really good, would be nice if it was updated.

Back in the day I made a polygon version for 3ds max as a coons surface if anyone wants to implement it.

I think I've had this question a while back, too. Here is a solution for polygons:

It looks like, that even gordon surfaces (a generalization of coons surfaces ~ uv-loft with multiple curves) are supported by skin sop.
