Now, I have a dirty version of a waveform to obspy converter

To get waveforms from a .mat file....
>>> w = loadmatwaveforms("somewave.mat")

So, assume a file was saved from matlab...
> mywaveforms = [waveform(), waveform(), waveform()];
> differentwave = [waveform];
> some_other_variable = 3;
> save mystuff

Then
>>> w = loadmatwaveforms("mystuff.mat")
will return w as a dictionary...
w['mywaveforms']= <osbpy.core.stream.Stream>  # containing 3 individual
Traces
w['otherwave'] = <obspy.core.stream.Stream> #containing 1 Trace
added a gitignore config file
