[luau] SRPMS for RedHat 7.3

[Jeff Mings]

I believe that the S stands for source.  The SRPMs are useful if you want to 
compile your own packages.  I have only used SRPMs when the regular RPMs 
aren't available.  For instance, since I have a custom kernel, the nVidia 
RPMs aren't suitable.  I get the related SRPM, do a rpm --rebuild to match my 
kernel/setup, and things are happy all around.
