I'll answer what I can.. Nikos will have to answer the rest.

Basically the system uses the standard automake/libtool "automagic" to
build the SO (pulling in the httpd configs to keep it with the systems
build setup).  But when it installs it uses apxs directly to install the
SO in the httpd lib directory.

So to build your RPM spec file (which you should be able to look at
other spec files in Fedora for how this is done with apache httpd
modules).  You can use make to build it, but to install you need to just
use good old "cp" or "install" to get it in the right place in your
build root.   Oh, also please feel free to contribute the spec file and
I'll put it in the distribution.

This makes sense..  you are specifying the path to the "database file"
not the directory to put the database.  so you should put

GnuTLSCache dbm "/var/cache/mod_gnutls/tlscache"
