[luau] Linux games

[Jeff Mings]

Yes, I purchased 3 licenses of UT just for use on Linux boxen  - if it 
didn't run natively, I wouldn't like it so much.

MonMotha, I must respectfully remind you that the subscription I paid 
for is one of the few things that encourages developers who need 
financial incentives to work on Linux software.  Also, there are several 
things that require WineX, and won't run on Wine alone.
