SMTP AUTH using SASL password checking daemon

i'm trying to setup Postfix v1.1.11 to use SASL based SMTP authentication
(on Red Hat Linux v8.0). Postfix has been compiled with the pfixtls patch
and SASL support. i've tried configuring SASL to use sasldb for password
checking and this works fine but i can't get password checking daemon to
work.

when i add 'pwcheck_method: pwcheck' to SASL smtpd.conf i get the
following message from Postfix:

warning: SASL authentication problem: unrecognized plaintext verifier pwcheck

so, the SASL library (v1) the Postfix has been linked with doesn't seem to
support the password checking daemon.

does Postfix have support for SASL v2 libraries so that i could try using
saslauthd? how do i compile Postfix with SASL v2? i tried configuring
Postfix with AUXLIBS="-lsasl2". the compilation went fine but the
resulting binaries are linked both with version 1 and 2 SASL library. is
this normal?

best regards,
