[torqueusers] running matlab distributed computing toolbox jobsthrough Torque?

[Andrew J Caird]

I think we've got this sorted out.  I'll take a look at it to 
make sure I don't embarass myself too much, try to document it, 
and put it somewhere useful sometime soon.

If you can't wait a few days, I'll email you the two files and 
that might get you started.

Torque having job arrays would make this a little easier, since 
Mathworks provides a set of scripts for PBSPro that take 
advantage of that functionality.  Nonetheless, people here are 
using what we put together.
