Alex, I'm not terribly qualified to judge most of this, as my matlab experience
is exactly zero.  But I'd suggest you pass some of this stuff over for review
at the scipy-dev list, at least the parts you consider of more general
interest.  It would be great if scipy could really become the canonical
repository for this kind of commonly useful functionality.

Cheers,
