string input of datenum is disabled

[Alexander Barth]

Hi all,

If datenum is called with a string argument, I get the error "string form of 
dates not yet
supported". The code in datenum handling string arguments (datevec) is 
commented out. When datevec
is enabled, datenum worked as expected (I tested the examples provided in the 
matlab's documentation.)

Attached is the patch to enable it.

Thanks
Alex
