+function net = mlpinit(net, prior)
+%MLPINIT Initialise the weights in a 2-layer feedforward network.
+%
+%	Description
+%
+%	NET = MLPINIT(NET, PRIOR) takes a 2-layer feedforward network NET and
+%	sets the weights and biases by sampling from a Gaussian distribution.
+%	If PRIOR is a scalar, then all of the parameters (weights and biases)
+%	are sampled from a single isotropic Gaussian with inverse variance
+%	equal to PRIOR. If PRIOR is a data structure of the kind generated by
+%	MLPPRIOR, then the parameters are sampled from multiple Gaussians
+%	according to their groupings (defined by the INDEX field) with
+%	corresponding variances (defined by the ALPHA field).
+%
