We have a simple script that converts most of the octave specific code to a 
matlab compatible version. Sometime soon, I'll go through the all the demos and 
make sure the everything in compliant.

There are some things we are unable to catch when converting. One is implied 
line continuations (pls use "..." when continuing lines in the demos). Another 
is quoting a quote.

        "Will properly ""convert"""

        'Will properly ''convert'''

        "With not properly 'convert'"

        'Also will not properly "convert"'
