function struct2csv(s,fn)
% STRUCT2CSV(s,fn)
%
% Output a structure to a comma delimited file with column headers
%
%       s : any structure composed of one or more matrices and cell arrays
%      fn : file name
%
%      Given s:
%
%          s.Alpha = { 'First', 'Second';
%                      'Third', 'Fourth'};
%
%          s.Beta  = [[      1,       2;

%                          ghi];
% 
%      STRUCT2CSV(s,'any.csv') will produce a file 'any.csv' containing:
%
%         "Alpha",        , "Beta",   ,"Gamma",   , "Epsln",
%         "First","Second",      1,  2,      1,  2,   "abc",
