IIRC, package mvtnorm will allow an X matrix, but requires mu to be a vector,
so although it's close, it won't do it all...but all suggestions are well

Dimitrius, you don't happen to have the multivariate t form of that
function, do you?

Well, it's relatively easy to adjust it, e.g.,

dmvt <- function (x, mu, Sigma, df, log = FALSE) {
    if (!is.matrix(x))
        x <- rbind(x)
    p <- nrow(Sigma)
    ed <- eigen(Sigma, symmetric = TRUE)
    ev <- ed$values
    if (!all(ev >= -1e-06 * abs(ev[1])))
        stop("'Sigma' is not positive definite")
    ss <- if (!is.matrix(mu)) {
        x - rep(mu, each = nrow(x))
    } else {
        x - mu
    }
    inv.Sigma <- ed$vectors %*% (t(ed$vectors)/ev)
    quad <- rowSums((ss %*% inv.Sigma) * ss)/df
    fact <- lgamma((df + p)/2) - lgamma(df/2) -
        0.5 * (p * (log(pi) + log(df)) + sum(log(ev)))
    if (log)
        fact - 0.5 * (df + p) * log(1 + quad)
    else
        exp(fact) * ((1 + quad)^(-(df + p)/2))
}


Best,
Dimitris
