+"""
+Run a Matlab script.
+
+Note that the script is run in the directory where it lives -- Matlab won't
+allow it any other way.
+
+For error-catching purposes, keep an own log-file that is destroyed if the
+task finished without error. If not, it will show up as mscript_[index].log 
+in the bldnode directory.
+
+Usage::

+        source='some_script.m',
+        target=['some_table.tex', 'some_figure.eps'],
