function [dist, pos] = distancePointLine(point, line)
%DISTANCEPOINTLINE Minimum distance between a point and a line.
%
%   D = distancePointLine(POINT, LINE)
%   Return the euclidean distance between line LINE and point POINT. 
%
%   LINE has the form: [x0 y0 dx dy], and POINT is [x y].
%
%   If LINE is N-by-4 array, result is N-by-1 array computes for each line.
%
%   If POINT is N-by-2, then result is computed for each point.
%
%   If both POINT and LINE are array, result is computed for each couple of
%   point and line, and is returned in a NP-by-NL array, where NP is the
%   number of points, and NL is the number of lines.
