Courier IMAP - vpopmail troubles

I like the qmail/vpopmail solution as a email server a lot and use it in lots of places. Usually there is only one domain, but in one special case I had to create more than one. I also use courier-imap as imap/pop3 daemon because of its support for vpopmail.
So last week I went to create a new virtual domain on this site and at first all seemed to work fine, but after a while users on the new virtual domains reported login errors.
After some googling I searched the vpopmail mailing lists and found the following posts:

Since I usually install qmail on SuSE linux systems I wanted to modify the rpm of courier-imap (version 3.0.8) so that it would also build the needed authvchkpw . This turned out not to be easy and required a modification to the spec file that I am attaching here:

To use it simply extract the courier-imap.spec file in rpm/SPECS and patch it. Then move the courier imap sources in rpm/SOURCES and build normally.
These are the directions for building courier rpms:
