Please take pity on me...

I'm a mere Unix Administrator who's trying to make some changes in a package
called courier-authlib. Basically, I've made my changes but what I want is
to be able to compile this package with the flag -laal2sdk so I can include
these other authentication libraries.

The problem is that I don't see how to do that. Now before you think that
this is completely trivial, what I'm actually doing is taking this source
package and creating RPMs. So I'm doing the following:

 - Editing the source
 - Tar-ing, Bzipping
 - rpmbuild -ta courier-authlib-0.55.tar.bz2

The problem here is that the changes I make to the makefile magically
disappear when I do this. I was told that I needed to use libtool,
autoconf, and automake to get these in here right.

So the question is...could someone really quickly tell me what I need to do?
Like I said, the only thing I want to do is change one line that says
"-lmysqlclient -lz" to "-lmysqlclient -lz -laal2sdk" and have it stick so I
can build the RPM. Help?

Michael
