R table by matrix row

For a matrix (as.matrix), how can I generate a table where rows are equal to rows of the matrix?

>table(matrix)

and

>hist(matrix)

show the cumulative sum for each unique data value in the matrix, but I would like a table where rows are the same value as each matrix row, and table columns are the sum occurrence of each unique data value in the matrix.

Example matrix:

   1  2  3  4 
a  5  5  4  6    
b  5  5  5  5     
c  8  7  6  6   
d  2  6  6  6     
e  7  7  5  4      

Desired output table:

   2  4  5  6  7  8
a  0  1  2  1  0  0
b  0  0  4  0  0  0
c  0  0  0  2  1  1
d  1  0  0  3  0  0
e  0  1  1  0  2  0
