A fully vectorized function that computes the Euclidean distance matrix between two sets of vectors.

The output is the same as MathWorks' (Neural Network Toolbox) 'dist' funtion (ie, d = dist(A',B), where A is a (DxM) matrix and B a (DxN) matrix, returns the same as my d = distance(A,B) ), but this function executes much faster.
