Sorry about the delay, but I think my answer worths it:
If you pretend to do the following:

        A_mxn = B_mxc .* C_cxn

and C is a 1xn row/column vector, you can do this

        A_mxn = B_mxc * diag(C_1xn)

instead of 

        A_mxn = B_mxc .* C_1xn(1:c,1)

It's the solution to a problem I had some days ago.
