Sorry, no, there isn't. It is effectively a compressed version
of all of the inner guts of Matlab, everything needed to
actually run a Matlab program (except the program parser), 
including all of the major graphic routines.

Matlab programs no longer compile into C code that calls upon
the Matlab engine at need: Matlab programs now compile into
pre-parsed "threaded" calls into the Matlab inner workings,
very close to the same way that source code that has passed through the
JIT (Just In Time) compiler behaves for "live" Matlab.
