Small script to convert output of reporter toOctave/Matlab

#!/usr/bin/python
#
# Python script to read an orocos report file and construct
# an m-file to read this file.  Does not work very well
# with nested output structures.  If used for other types
# then std::vector<double> and MotCon::Twist you probably have
# to edit this file.
