Requires the 20041023 build of courier-authlib.

All authentication stuff in Courier has been taken out and placed into
a separate package, the Courier authentication library.

The resulting impact:

* The authstart set-user-id wrapper, that used to be necessary to implement
authenticated ESMTP, has been eliminated.  The courier-smtpauth RPM package
has been obsoleted.

* The authdaemon.passwd set-user-id wrapper, required to be able to change
passwords via webmail, has been replaced by the sqwebpasswd set-group-id
wrapper, that uses only the minimum necessary privilege escalation to talk to
the privileged socket, for the purpose of changing account passwords.

* The courier-ldap, courier-mysql, and courier-pgsql RPM sub-packages now
only contain the webadmin screens that configure the LDAP, MySQL, or PostreSQL
module in the courier-authlib package.

* Major internal cleanup of Makefiles and configuration scripts.  Lots of
ancient cruft removed.

* The new libtool dependency resulted in the tarball bloating by another megabyte and a half. At some point I'll try to remove most of the bloat, but right now this is not a priority.
