createMengerSponge() 
function varargout = createMengerSponge()
%CREATEMENGERSPONGE Create a cube with an inside cross removed
%
%   [n e f] = createMengerSponge;
%   Main use is to test possibility of drawing polyhedra with complex faces
%   (polygonal faces with holes)
%
%   Example
%   [n e f] = createMengerSponge;
%   drawMesh(n, f);
