/*@C
    PetscStartMatlab - starts up Matlab with a Matlab script

    Logically Collective on MPI_Comm, but only processor zero in the communicator does anything

    Input Parameters:
+     comm - MPI communicator
.     machine - optional machine to run Matlab on
-     script - name of script (without the .m)

    Output Parameter:
.     fp - a file pointer returned from PetscPOpen()

    Level: intermediate

    Notes:
     This overwrites your matlab/startup.m file

     The script must be in your Matlab path or current directory

     Assumes that all machines share a common file system

.seealso: PetscPOpen(), PetscPClose()
