Title: Matlab-Engine wrapper

Hi Paul,

I wrote a wrapper for the Matlab engine a while ago and I finally found some time to also make it run properly under linux.

Essentially, it allows to exchange standard data types (doubles, ints, bools, etc.) and Eigen matrices/vectors between a C++ program and Matlab. Furthermore, you can call Matlab commands or open a Matlab shell from anywhere in your program.

It is not very efficient, but it is very simple to use and you don't have to care about the awkward Matlab syntax.

Anyways, I'd be honoured if you make it a part of the SM. However, it is kind of opposing to your approach to use python instead. So if it does not suit the concept of the SM, I'd be happy to maintain it in my branch (or use it as a start for my own toolbox).

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
Michael

PS: It includes a findMatlab script that seems to be the only out there that actually works.
