Oops, guess I missed that one. It probably missed my grep because the
LIB_DEPENDS line is wrong. Anyways, it appears that the fix is a simple
patch, like the ones I did for the other xforms ports. There's no need to
bring back xforms88 for this, I'll work out at a patch later this evening.


Thanks,

Mike
