I am willing to do get it into the extras, but I am new to
Fedora's
packaging guidelines. Are they documented somewhere?
As said before
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines and you
should certainly read once more
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Contributors to be familiar with them.
If I do the work then can the mysql++ RPMs be included in the FC5,
FC6,
etc releases?
It depends on how good packages you will create and whether they will go
through review smoothly.
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?
Well, both -- you have to certainly build them yourself for testing, but
actual bits which go to Fedora are built by plague
http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Plague but don't with that yet
-- you have some way to go before you get there. Just start on the top of
the page
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Contributors and go down.

A fool-proof method for sculpting an elephant: first, get a huge
block of marble; then you chip away everything that doesn't look
like an elephant.
