Mark -

You're going to have to mow over the .spec file.  There are certain
options that you'll need to consider, such as the version of SASL, among
other things.  I am not able to pull the SRPM at this moment, so I can't
give you exact directions here.

YOu can find instructions on one of several HOW-TOs on the subject.

Thanks
