creating my own auth_module for saslauthd

I did but saslauthd still says: set_auth_mech   : unknown authentication mechanism: radius
In fact if we take a look in Makefile.am and Makefile.in all the auth_mechanisms .c and .h files are referreced although when you compile only 4 of them are being used by saslatuhd (pam rimap shadow ...). So this shows that to install a new mechanism you have to work out with Cyrus dependencies files.

The problem is to find where Cyrus check the dependencies like if got unix -> enable shadow, if got ldap -> auth_ldap enable.

I have seen some referrences to some file in /deps/md5.Po and maybe i need to write a radius.Po file,  but i can't find that folder neither a .Po file in cyrus folder.

So auth_radius mechanism isn't being in account by saslauthd. How can I force cyrus sasl to include my own authentification mechanisms with saslauthd ?
