[Ipopt] interfacing Ipopt with matlab

[Peter Carbonetto]

There has been some (not very detailed) discussion on installing the 
Matlab interface on Windows in previous postings to the mailing 
list---please search the archives of the IPOPT mailing list. Apparently it 
is tricky to compile the MEX file on Windows. If you have any success, 
please let us know!
