Maximize the size of figures and GUIs to fill the entire screen.

The function was tested under the following conditions:
screen resolutions:
[800x600]
[1024x768]
[1152x864]
[1280x960]
Matlab version: R12, R13
OS: WinXP

The function was calibrated to handle WinXP standard toolbar (at the bottom of the screen, one icon row) and standard screen (4x3 ratio - not wide).

If you are using different settings, the maximized figure size could be wrong. If you find yourself in such a position, fear not. Run the function in 'calibrate' mode to calibrate the settings.

The application will ask you to maximize a figure window manually and use these settings as a reference from now on.
