A lot of people managed to get by with just a simple process:

If your MAILUID and MAILGID is not set correctly, it indicates that
courier-authlib was not installed properly.
Well.... I uninstalled authlib and zapped the sources and rebuilt from
there, and now I've got a build of courier. Not sure what I've done
differently this time.
For anyone thats interested, and for the sake of Google searches by other
lost souls, the configuration parameters relating to users and groups are:
MAILUSER
MAILGROUP
MAILUID
MAILGID
These appear to be set automatically by a correct install of Authlib, where
mailuser and mailgroup get assigned the highlevel user and group names, eg
courier and courier, and the mailuid and mailgid get assigned the number id
values.
You can certainly overide the first two when compiling courier by
using --with-mailuser and --with-mailgroup and I'd suspect you could overide
the last two with --with-mailuid and --with-mailgid although, as Sam will
quickly point out, that should not be necessary if everything else is
properly configured. God knows what else would be missing if you adopted
that route, and I'm sick of watching courier build at this stage to go back
and see.
Anyway, thanks Sam for your persistence.... its helped loads!
