I've been in cars with badly running cruise that did the pulse and glide automatically! I imagine any of the old mechanical systems could be tweaked to do this. I don't think that there would be any advantage though at a manual trans car would still have the engine braking on the glide. Maybe if you had an auto trans that pulsed in a lower gear and then glided in top gear it might be worth while.
