I'm coded a bunch of result file parsers (using spirit/spirit2) and connected 
them to Matlab via  mex files (*.mexw32 at windows).

The mex frontend is IMHO a very handy thing for very simple cases where the an 
algorithm is contained in one sourcefile without any external dependencies. I 
never really used it, because I never had this simple cases ;) 

I'm using mingw(sometimes msvc) and CMake for this and I can post an simple 
example if you want me to. Its a little tricky, since there are name clashes 
between the libs in Matlab's library-dir and gcc's own libs (i.e libm).

My access to Matlab is limited to Windows, so I can't provide a general 
solution.
