+Description: Fix compilation of C++ MEX files with GCC 4.8
+ The header mex.h was including mexproto.h within an extern "C" block. In turn,
+ mexproto.h includes cstdlib.
+ .
+ Apparently, including cstdlib within an extern "C" block was working with GCC
+ 4.7, but this is no longer the case with GCC 4.8.
+ .
+ The fix consists in including mexproto.h outside of the extern "C" block.
