AMTMEX - Compile Mex/Oct interfaces

Program code:

function amtmex(varargin)
%AMTMEX   Compile Mex/Oct interfaces
%   Usage:  amtmex;
%           amtmex(...);
%
%   `amtmex` compiles the C backend in order to speed up the execution of
%   the toolbox. The C backend is linked to Matlab and Octave through mex
%   and Octave C++ interfaces.
%
%   The action of `amtmex` is determined by one of the following flags:
%
%     'compile'  Compile stuff. This is the default.
%
%     'clean'    Removes the compiled functions.

%   AUTHOR : Peter Søndergaard.
%   TESTING: NA
%   REFERENCE: NA
