Description

SINGA's code has been modularized to support user extension.
This ticket creates a full example of writing training using user defined layers.

This example has the same neural net as the deep MLP example for digits recognition over the MNIST dataset. Instead of using the built-in InnerProductLayer and STanhLayer, we create a HiddenLayer as user-defined layer which applies inner-product and scaled Tanh transformations together.
Makefile.example is provided to compile and link user code.
