How do I detect if MATLAB was started -nojvm from a mex extension

For debugging a mex extension under Linux MATLAB is typically run -nojvm.

However, when run this way stdout/stderr (cout/cerr) no longer need to be redirected / captured. It would be useful to detect this so that code to to this is disabled to simplify debugging.

if usejava('desktop')

end
