%EXPORTTOZIP - Creates a ZIP file containing all dependencies of a function
%
% zipfilename = exportToZip(funcname)
% zipfilename = exportToZip(funcname,zipfilename)
%
% All M-files which are required by the specified function(s) and which are
% not inside MATLAB's "toolbox" directory.
% funcname is one or more function names, as a string or cell array of strings.
%
% If no zipfilename is specified, the ZIP file is created in the current
% working directory with name X.zip where X is the first function name in
% the supplied list.  The file names in the ZIP file are relative to the
% common root directory directory of all the required files.  If no
% common root directory can be established (e.g. if files are on
% different drives) an error is thrown.
