+## Create a lookup table which can be used by applylut.
+##
+## lut = makelut(fun,n) returns a vector which can be used by applylut
+## as a lookup table.
+##
+## @var{fun} can be a function object as created by inline, or simply a
+## string which contains the name of a function. @var{fun} should accept a
+## @var{n}-by-@var{n} matrix whose elements are binary (0 or 1) and
+## returns an scalar (actually anything suitable to be included in a
+## vector).
+##
+## makelut calls @var{fun} with all possible matrices and builds a
+## vector with its result, suitable to be used by applylut. The length
+## of this vector is 2^(@var{n}^2), so 16 for 2-by-2 and 512 for 3-by-3.
+##
+## makelut also passes parameters @var{P1}, @var{P2}, .... to @var{fun}.
