Prompted by Bruno's email, and similar requests by some students at the
Arnold & Felsenstein Evolutionary Quantitative Genetics course, we've
started adding ancestral state reconstruction to OUwie. It still needs
debugging and testing, but should be ready fairly soon. I do believe bayou
does ancestral state estimation, too, but I don't think all the models you
want will be in the set. Could be adequate to answering the biological
question, though.

Best,
Brian
