[changeset] make str2mat an alias of char

[Thorsten Meyer]

Hi,

attached is a changeset that removes the str2mat.m function file and makes str2mat an alias of char.
The two functions do the same as far as I can see. Only the internal char function is of course much
faster than the str2mat.m function file. To me, it looks like str2mat is a leftover from a time
when char() was less permissive with respect to its input arguments.

regards

Thorsten
