[Eeglablist] Import of Brainlab .sig files

[Simon-Shlomo Poil]

Hi Makoto,

No that doesn't work. It seems like the file is encoded somehow, because I
just get random signs and letters. Nothing that looks like a numeric
Matrix. In the style of "� � � � u J 1 D O : + = R * � �"

If I use fread I do get numeric data, but it doesn't look right, e.g. "255
   254
   254
   225
   254
   203
   254
   179
   254
   128
   254
    78
    94
     9"

It looks encoded. I also need the event data from the file, which somehow
probably is stored in the header..
