 * The latest version of xfmail (1.3) was developed with xforms-0.88.1,
 * so there shouldn't be any problem.
 * 
 * Also 0.88.1 is merely a bug-fix release.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear.  The problem was was actually
reported a few weeks ago with xfmail-1.2 with xforms-0.88.1.

But that's not the point.  Does the xforms library go through
incompatible changes within the same shared library major number?
Then, we should do something about it, as there are a lot (16, I
think) ports that depend on it.

The "something" ranges from making sure everything works fine before
xforms is upgraded, to splitting xforms into two ports and changing
library basenames (libxforms1, libxforms2, etc.) to allow individual
ports to select either one, for instance.
