True - Matlab has HDF5 IO support.  However, HDF5 has a very poor c++
interface.  While I would applaud a robust C++ interface for HDF5, I think
that for boost to support it as an output target currently would be a
painful endeavor.

It is probably a better idea to build a MEX interface where the C++ classes
are loaded natively and exported to Matlab.
