+%PLUGIN_MOVEPATH- Given a path to a plugin folder, this function will
+%                     put the plugin at the bottom of the path.
+%
+% Usage:
+%         plugin_movepath('x','begin');           % Put plugin 'x' at the top of the path
+%         plugin_movepath('x','end');             % Put plugin 'x' at the bottom of the path
+%         plugin_movepath('x','begin','warns',1); % Put plugin 'x' at the top of the path and show warnings
+%                                                                  
+%  Inputs:
+%         foldername   - [string] Plugin name or part of it
+%         pluginpos    - {'begin','end'} Position to move the plugin in the path.
+%                      To the top ('begin') or to the bottom ('end').
+% Optional inputs:
+%        warns        -[0,1] Allow display [1] or do not display [0] warnings.
+%                      Warnings are restored at the end of the process. Default[0] 
+%  Outputs:
+%        oldpath  - Original MATLAB path before entering this function
+%        newpath  - MATLAB path after being modified by this function
