This function was created after a discussion in Loren's blog:
http://blogs.mathworks.com/loren/2010/05/13/rename-a-field-in-a-structure-array
Tested: Matlab 6.5/2009a, WinXP 32 bit, LCC2.4/3.8, BCC5.5, OpemWatcom 1.8, MSVC 2008
Compatibility to 64 bit, Linux, MacOS is assumed.
Look in the C-file for instructions to compile the Mex file at first.
A slower M-version is included, but disabled by a call to ERROR. The M-version does not check the validity of the new names.
