The attached mex_improved.pl files fixes a bug in the mex.pl file in the MATLAB /bin folder that is used to compile c code with the mex command.
Instead of writing one long line of "FILES_TO_LINK" into the .rsp file, I added new line commands "\n" in lines 327, 332 and 337.

Example: push(@FILES_TO_LINK, "$LINK_LIB " . smart_quote($file) . "\n");

This allows to compile large c code with many library files under Windows and prevents the "fatal error LNK1170: line in command file contains 131071 or more characters" bug.
