Of course.. As far as I remember the most significant part of the
unix port was writing the comdll code.. And adding the "packed" 
keyword to the structs. 

I used 3 weeks before I realized that this was the missing part in
mex. I guess I've hardcoded the sizes of the structs which turned out
to be a problem on UNIX.
