Added package directory with RPM SPECfile (and instructions!)
Linked to issue #144 Tested on Fedora 18, works fine except the ard-reset-arduino manpage displays [1m and [0m around some headings, might be a bug in help2man 1.41.2 as it works fine on Debian with 1.43.3, will try CentOS/OEL 6.5 next. I didn't update the changelog as I didn't know what the new development version is going to be.

+# How to compile an RPM
+
+From the top-level Arduino-Makefile directory you've checked out of github, run the following to create a compressed tarball using the naming conventions required by rpmbuild:
+
+ git archive --prefix=arduino-mk-1.1.0/ --format=tar -o ../arduino-mk-1.1.0.tar.gz -v HEAD | gzip
+
+If you don't already have a rpmbuild setup (e.g. you've not installed the SRPM) you will need to create the directories:
+
+ mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{SOURCES,SPECS}
+
+Then copy the tarball and specfile into place:
+
+ cp ../arduino-mk-1.1.0.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
+ cp package/arduino-mk.spec ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/
+
+Then compile. This will create a binary and source RPM:
+
+ cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/
+ rpmbuild -ba arduino-mk.spec
