(To whom it may concern)
xforms seems to have gone stable, and at the same time moved.
The new URL is
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/xforms/stable.pkg/1.0/xforms-1.0.tar.gz
An updated DETAILS file is attached.
This is not enough, though - the compilation can't see libXpm:
/---- last (failing) command (one long line):
gcc -m32 -o fdesign -g -O4 -L/usr/X11R6/lib fd_attribs.o
fd_control.o fd_fake.o fd_file.o fd_forms.o
fd_groups.o fd_help.o fd_initforms.o fd_main.o
fd_names.o fd_objects.o fd_pallette.o fd_printC.o
fd_rubber.o fd_select.o fd_spec.o fd_super.o
fd_util.o sp_browser.o sp_button.o sp_choice.o

sp_slider.o sp_twheel.o sp_xyplot.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXext
-lX11 -Xlinker -Bstatic -L../lib -lforms
-lXpm -Xlinker -Bdynamic
-lm
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXpm
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [fdesign] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xforms-1.0/fdesign'
make: *** [all] Error 2
\----
I don't know why this fails; /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so is there (as is
the library that symlink points to).
A related issue: xforms has no dependency file - but it clearly has
dependencies... lvu won't tell me, though, from what module
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so comes (why?).

SHORT="An Open Source XForms GUI XLib library"
cat << EOF
XForms is a GUI toolkit based on Xlib for X Window Systems. It features
a rich set of objects, such as buttons, scrollbars, and menus etc.
integrated into an easy and efficient object/event callback execution
model that allows fast and easy construction of X-applications. In
addition, the library is extensible and new objects can easily be
created and added to the library.
