customize user prompt in console window?

Is there a way to change the user prompt from ">>" in the Matlab console window?

In linux systems, this can be done for the bash console by setting the environment variable $PS1, and it is common to set the prompt to show the hostname and/or working directory. Is there anything equivalent for the matlab console?

This would be helpful for folks like me who run matlab via X-windows on multiple machines simultaneously, (development, linux box and university cluster), so when switching windows I know which system I'm on.
