I installed vpopmail binary package from unstable (it is not included in 
woody).

<<<
dpkg --list "*vpopmail*"

ii  vpopmail-doc   4.9.9-1        vpopmail documentation

Afterwards I tried to build sqwebmail from the debian source package. I 
changed the rules file:

--with-authvchkpw
--without-authdaemon

This leads to the following error during build:

<<<
echo '#include "/var/lib/vpopmail/include/config.h"' >vpopmail_config.h
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.     -I/var/lib/vpopmail/include -lcrypt 
-Wall -I.. -I./.. -c authvchkpw.c

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/courier-0.37.3'

>>>

I found numerous occurences of this error message on Google and 
groups.google.com - unfortunately all without replies. :-(

What does your working rules file look like?

TIA
