True! Here's my attempt -- use at your own risk.

honore <- function (b, dataset, x1, x2) {
    dxb <- (x2 - x1) %*% b
y1 <- # insert your y variable here
y2 <- # insert your y variable here
    sum(
        (pmax(y1, dxb) - pmax(y2, dxb) - dxb)^2 +
        2*(y1 < dxb)*(dxb-y1)*y2 +
        2*(y2 < -dxb)* (-dxb-y2)*y1
    )
}

fetobit <- function (dataset, form) {
    x2 <- model.matrix(form, dataset[,T=2])
    x1 <- model.matrix(form, dataset[,T=1])
   # could maybe set initial values to something different
    res <- optim(rep(0, ncol(x1)), fn=honore, x1=x1, x2=x2,
        dataset=dataset, method="BFGS", control=list(maxit=1000))
    if (res$convergence != 0) warning("Didn't converge")
    res$par
}

For standard errors, bootstrap.
