Default New door casing help

OK, so we *finally* got a new pre-hung door hung with everything plumb and
level. Closes like a dream and stays closed unlike its predecessor. :-) It
was a bitch to hang because it appears the WALL is twisted (this place had
foundation issues in the past that at one point were addressed - but it
appears this particular wall has remaining issues.)

So now the drywall sticks out about 3/4" beyond the door frame in some
places, and in others, the frame extends about 1/2" beyond the drywall.
Unfortunately, generally on the same stretch of wall.

Should I try to reduce the drywall that sticks out so the casing can go on
flush? Build up the drywall that is too deep?

Any help would be much appreciated - right now the casing is just sitting
there while I try to come up with a clue as to how to finish THIS project!

Laurie
