Moreover the current SVN version doesn't run successfully, because it
expects files in different locations. The following patch allows MEX
files to be compiled. However, I'm not sure if this is half-way into a
transition. For example 'routlm' seems to have moved into
forward/private, but is still expected to be in private/. The current
binary distribution also ships it in private/. What is the intented
setup? ft_compile_mex.m now builds 22 of 35 MEX files in the binary
distribution (excluding external ones).

Thanks again,
