        <para>
            This function is used to create mex libraries and to generate a
            loader file which can be used to dynamically load the mex shared library.
        </para>
        <para>
            Note that the file name containing the mex code can be set in the third input argument (<literal>files</literal>) or the second value of the <literal>table</literal> input argument.
