Support for mysql++ in Fedora?

[Bruce Keats]

I am willing to do get it into the extras, but I am new to Fedora's
packaging guidelines.  Are they documented somewhere?

If I do the work then can the mysql++ RPMs be included in the FC5, FC6, etc
releases?

As well, where do the binary RPMs come from?  Do I build them or is there a
special build system that creates the binary RPMs once the source RPM is
created?

Thanks,
Bruce
