Details:

Matlab's mex accepts the outdir option to store the compiled files in a given
folder.

Octave's mex accepts output to specify the output name for the mex file that
can be used to also set the folder.

Hence implementing outdir seems a matter of just parsing the option and then
appending to the output arguments that are currently used. I do not think one
should check for the validity of the output name/folder, and I would delegate
that to the system utilities to manipulate folders and files.
