[torqueusers] torque with Matlab

[Naveed Near-Ansari]

the qsub filter issue was that the matlab pbs integration script uses
sed to parse some things.  When using the qsub_filter example which
contains a read command, i needed to add the -r flag. not a big deal,
but took a little while to figure out.
