Thanks, Paul - those are good questions.

I assume by "c interface" you mean ODBC?  I believe that would be best,
but requires more work... I suspect this is the direction Xavier took
with his database package.  

Given a choice between perl, Matlab and "create your own," the community
would probably prefer a solution that "looks like Matlab." That is,
without a GUI and no Matlab-specific I/O, I assume. 

What do you think?
