+% Code generator for the VA Matlab interface facade class
+%
+% Desc:     This script generates the code for the Matlab
+%           facade class to the VAInterface MEXExtension.
+%           It takes the class template code and inserts
+%           all stubs for the functions in the VAConnector
+%           interface. These are derived using the reflexion
+%           mechanism ('enumerateFunctions')
