It seems you have something that is fairly functional.  It has been a 
long time since I used Matlab's IDE, but I remember it was helpful to 
use items 2-3, which you say are 100% complete.  Would you mind making a 
version release on the project's sourceforge site?  I am capable of 
downloading the cvs/svn code, but I bet you will see a bit more use, 
testing, and feedback if you make a release.
