[kepler-dev] Build Broken (by MatlabExpression.java?)

[Ilkay Altintas]

I agree with Christopher's comments. We're working on making it more  
integrated.

I think Tristan broke the build when he checked in a new version of  
the MatlabExpression. Nandita said it looks like an operating system  
problem.

I removed it for now so that it won't cause any problems. Nandita  
will fix it and check it in again.

Dan: I think we'd better include the new version of the actor when it  
doesn't break the build :)
