Thanks for supplying this code!
I tried the toolbox on mac os x leopard (from macports, 3.2.4).
I installed the cfitsio library via macports first. The toolbox compiled
without problems for me.
I tried with the file
http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/samples/WFPC2u5780205r_c0fx.fits
which loaded ok. Viewing it with imagesc(img(:,:,1)) looks something
like the picture on
http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/browse?file=/samples/WFPC2u5780205r_c0fx.fits
although I have no idea what is portrayed...

I think we should accept Dirk as a developer and add this toolbox. The
licens and description files seem to be correct to me.
