There are many packages out there that do pretty much the same. However, there are also usually many settings and tweaks needed to get it to look just right.
This package saves you from all this hassle — just include it and you're done.
I originally wrote this package for myself to have colourful source code highlighted in LaTeX, looking exactly like in the Matlab editor — being able to just copy-paste the code directly (no pre-treatment with highlight.m or the likes), or simply give a file name and have its contents included and syntax highlighted.
Again, this packages relies on a bunch of other packages (and in particular the listings package for the actual work), but spares you from loads of configurations... So please first check the source code or the configuration options of the packages used if you have any issues.
I've also thrown together a small demo-document (now included) which should give you a quick example on how to actually use the package.
