Support for protoc version 3.4.?

[emonsler]

The README.md suggests that the protoc compiler needs to be rebuilt to add Matlab support. There is a commit comment to the effect that plugin support was being added.

A plugin could be made available precompiled, which is much easier, and could migrate to newer protoc versions such as 3.4.

Has anyone worked on this?

Is there a working-but-undocumented way to use the Matlab compiler as a plugin?

Thanks.
