Add a command-line argument to specify arch

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is this an entirely new feature or an enhancement of an existing feature?
Enhancement of existing feature,

What is the feature or enhancement?
I want an option added to change the architecture.  Right now when I try to 
start matlab through the proxy it fails to start because the default arch is 
64-bit because I have 10.6.8, but matlab is MATLAB_R2010aSV, which has no 
32-bit mac version.  The only way I've found to launch it is using this script 
and pointing the proxy towards it:

matlab.sh:
#!/bin/bash
shift
"/Applications/MATLAB_R2010aSV.app/bin/matlab" -maci "$@"

I don't say the script is perfect.  It might be dropping an argument, but that 
should give you an idea of what I mean.


If you have currently implemented a solution of your own to implement this
feature or enhancement, how have you done so?

I could probably do this if I needed to, though I don't see any build scripts, 
project files, or hints on how to build it, which would be a little annoying to 
do.  Or does this need something from MATLAB to build?

matlabcontrol is designed to be platform independent, and operate the same 
under Windows, OS X, and Linux. Architecture settings only exist for POSIX 
systems (OS X and Linux) and as such the setting could not be honored on 
Windows.
