Added libcudart as an optional cuda library (runtime library) #200

Closed davidparks21 closed 8 years ago

On a system I'm deploying Mocha to, only the cuda runtime libraries were installed. I ran Pkg.test("Mocha") successfully after adding libcudart to the cuda libraries list, tests failed prior..

Hmm... interesting. So CUDA RT contains the APIs in libcuda? This sounds a bit mysterious to me, but since tests are passing for you, I will merge.

I can't say I'm terribly familiar, but I read this discussion: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/522598/what-is-the-difference-between-runtime-and-driver-api-/

Sounds like the runtime libraries are a relic, but on the system I'm using they're what was previously installed (the v6.5 runtime libraries with a K20 GPU), and I haven't run into any issues running the GPU backend with them.
