/usr/sbin/alternatives and postfix from source

Hello,
 First of all if somebody knows of a howto for this point me there. I have not
been able to find an answer to this.

I have a Fedora Core 2 system that I am trying to set up postfix, dovecot,
sasl, ssl, and squirrelmail on. Trying to better myself, I have been trying
to get everything built everything from the ground up (sources). The problem
I am having, is that I cannot find away to get
around /usr/sbin/alternatives. I am using pam for authentication and this
means the symlinks are all screwed up (pam.d) as well as the symlinks for
sendmail (sendmail.sendmail) and such. I think I just have to manually
symlink some things, but I have also heard that this can screw some things
up. Any ideas.

thanks
michael
