Hello all!

(I used DOLFIN until a year ago and now I am happy to be using it again!)

DOLFIN (C++) can be successfully integrated with Matlab via the MEX 
interface. I rearranged the Poisson demo and wrote a mex-wrapper around 
it so that the Poisson solver can be called as a regular Matlab 
function. This integration is quite convenient IMHO and I would be happy 
to share this little demo if someone is interested in how this is done.

Anyway, there was a tricky loading error due to missing symbols in 
libxml2. This turned out to be caused by the reference libxml2 makes to 
libz. The strange thing was that Matlab loads its internal version of 
libz (found in <matlab>/bin/<arch>/) which apparently is older and 
incompatible with current xml2. I just removed libz from Matlab so it 
loads the system-wide one instead.
