Niels,

I'm not an official package maintainer so this is an informal review.

archivemount.c has "This program can be distributed under the terms of the GNU
GPL" for its license. According to the GPL license included at COPYING, if no
version of the GPL is specified it can be licensed under any version. Under the
Fedora project, this short name for this license should be 'GPL+'
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#Good_Licenses.

You should probably remove the autom4te.cache directory that comes with the
tarball in %prep section. 

If this is going to EPEL the BuildRoot is needed, otherwise it can be left out.

then library files that end in .so (without suffix) must go in a -devel package
[-] In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base package
using a fully versioned dependency
