[vorbis] RPM dependency rant

So I'd like to try out rc3 (been a happy user of rc2 since it came
out).  I download the RPMS and try to do an upgrade, only to find that
libao and vorbis-tools depends on 'libcurl' and 'libasound' which are
not part of Red Hat 7.1 (looks like curl is in 7.2, but God knows
where to get libasound).

In addition, the RPMs want libcrypto.so.0, while 7.1 and 7.2
have .1.

So it'd be really nice to have a note on the download page explaining
what system the RPMs are actually built for, and where to get the
nonstandard libraries that they depend on.
