Cudnn frontend support #7

Dear jcudnn's contributors,

I love this repo! Would you have a plan to support the cudnn frontend in the future? wait quietly for good news!

There are no plans to add support for this (and as you may have noticed, JCuda in general is basically dormant - I've spent waaay too much of my spare time with that).

From quickly looking at that "Frontend" repo, it looks like something that could really make sense, in terms of convenience and usability (and using these terms in the context of cuDNN itself sounds nearly ironic). But along that line, it looks like something where it may not necessarily make sense to create a 1:1 mapping to Java. Any sort of "object-oriented abstraction layer could greatly be improved by adapting the idioms of the "host" programming languge. (But that's just a guess for now - I didn't dive into the details of the API yet...)
