# ----- Find Matlab/Octave -----
#
# OpenCVFindMatlab.cmake attempts to locate the install path of Matlab in order
# to extract the mex headers, libraries and shell scripts. If found 
# successfully, the following variables will be defined
#
#   MATLAB_FOUND:       true/false
#   MATLAB_ROOT_DIR:    Root of Matlab installation
#   MATLAB_MEX_SCRIPT   The mex script used to compile mex files
#   MATLAB_INCLUDE_DIRS Path to "mex.h"
#   MATLAB_LIBRARY_DIRS Path to mex and matrix libraries
#   MATLAB_LIBS         The Matlab libs, usually mx, mex, mat
#   MATLAB_MEXEXT       The mex library extension. It will be one of:
#                         mexwin32, mexwin64,  mexglx, mexa64, mexmac, 
#                         mexmaci,  mexmaci64, mexsol, mexs64
#   MATLAB_ARCH         The installation architecture. It is simply
#                       the MEXEXT with the preceding "mex" removed
#
# There doesn't appear to be an elegant way to detect all versions of Matlab
# across different platforms. If you know the matlab path and want to avoid
# the search, you can define the path to the Matlab root when invoking cmake:
#
#   cmake -DMATLAB_ROOT_DIR='/PATH/TO/ROOT_DIR' ..
