This is part of the problem, but the documentation for getting CRAM-MD5
authentication working is just plain lacking.  I'm thinking I need to
rewrite this section and send it to the author.

CRAM will not work unless you pretty much import all the fields from the
password file for a given user, and the Courier docs don't mention this
anywhere.  Why does CRAM authentication care about a users home directory
location or shell for that matter?

I also noticed the port does not install pw2userdb from the distribution,
which is very handy for automating the password file into userdb.
