With practically no experince packaging, I was able to create the two packages I needed in one sitting, by mostly copy-and-paste.

You can read my post on this list from a few days ago if you want details.
It's not so easy for wxWidgets unless you're planning to use wxGTK rather than the native W32 port. Fedora obviously doesn't ship a W32 wxWidgets as a native Fedora package, only wxGTK.
We should package the one with the native Windows widgets.
It requires us to do more, but is going to result in a better developer experience.
The packaging work for this has already been done by someone I talked to here at FUDCon. I've asked him to post his work to this mailing list.
