Cross-cite autograd

[alexbw]

Would be nice in the README to point Python folks to autograd, and I'm sure they'd be pumped to point Lua folks here.

Thanks for the pointer, I haven't heard of that library. That's pretty much
the direction I hope to go, but the difference here (at least for now) is
that it works at the level of torch's nn modules. Once it's reasonably
complete I'll add a link, but not yet to avoid confusion about what its
current state is.

And for information, there is now a torch version of autograd:

(not sure yet how it compares with this module...)

We ported autograd to Torch, and added interoperability with all nn modules, which we allow you to call like functions.

Here's an example of a feed-forward net, using just torch functions: https://github.com/twitter/torch-autograd/blob/39d7e1b91ef6c4d2cfcee7730992ad2719760bce/examples/train-mnist-mlp.lua#L17-L31

And here's an example of a CNN, using nn modules: https://github.com/twitter/torch-autograd/blob/39d7e1b91ef6c4d2cfcee7730992ad2719760bce/examples/train-mnist-cnn.lua#L14-L44
