from melfilter by Pierce
generates a mel filter bank for a given frequency vector

melfilter(N,FrequencyVector,hWindow)
function [Filter,MelFrequencyVector] = melfilter(N,FrequencyVector,hWindow)
% melfilter         Create a mel frequency filterbank
%
%   [Filter,MelFrequencyVector] = melfilter(N,FrequencyVector,hWindow)
%
%   Generates a filter bank matrix with N lineary spaced filter banks, 
%   in the Mel frequency domain, that are overlapped by 50%.
%
%   `N` the number of filter banks to construct.
%
%   `FrequencyVector` a vector indicating the frequencies at which to
%   evaluate the filter bank coeffiecents.
%
%   `hWindow` a handle to the windowing function that determines the shape
%   of the filterbank. The default is hWindow = @triang
%
%   `Filter` is sparse matrix of size [N numel(FrequencyVector)].
%
%   `MelFrequencyVector` is a vector containing the Mel frequency values
%
%   Example
%       N = 50;
%       Fs = 10000;
%       x = sin(2*pi*110*(0:(1/Fs):5));
%       [Pxx,F] = periodogram(x,[],512,Fs);
%
%       Filter = melfilter(N,F);
%       Filter = melfilter(N,F,@rectwin);
%       [Filter,MF] = melfilter(N,F,@blackmanharris);
%
%       FPxx = Filter*Pxx;
