Oh, that looks to me like a lot repeated work and effort. Does the first
of these packages provide a matlab shell and debugging?

I am not sure what do you mean by company-mode.

The starting point of this discussion was to apply depending patches to
the matlab-emacs version in sourceforge.

Concerning the 2 other packages, Well I think in principle it would be
good to merge them , but 

    -  first one has to see the code, maybe a merge could be very complicated.

    -  I think it also depends very much whether these packages are
       actively maintained.
