Torch7 package

[albertz]

Some Torch7 package would be nice. It's really complicated to do the setup (without root access, so I cannot easily install the dependencies, and their setup script doesn't find my Linuxbrew libs in all cases).

Maybe this is helpful: torch/distro#70

Ultimately, I fail to install it now because of: zeromq/lzmq#45

Submit a pull request with the formula if you have the inclination. There are links to docs to help you with how to create a formula in CONTRIBUTING.md.

I don't have the time myself unfortunately to take packaging requests.

@albertz Actually Debian packaging script may provide some help for creating new brew formulas in ruby . However the style of Brew formulas are similar to pkgbuild (Archlinux) or ebuild from Gentoo, so one might get more helpful snippets from AUR(archlinux user repo) packaging scripts related to Torch.

@albertz You may need to change some CMAKE variables for the Torch CMake files. e.g. appending your brew lib directory to cmake LDFLAGS.
