Uninstall all rpms complete, including courier-authlib.

Extract the courier-authlib.spec file from the courier-authlib tarball.
Edit it, and append the options at the end of "%configure --with-redhat".

Run rpmbuild -ba courier-authlib.spec

This should build courier-authlib with custom uid/gid settings.

After courier-authlib is installed, build the courier RPMs without any
special options.
