New xforms url (and compilation problems)

[Terry Chan]

Erik,

I've fixed the BUILD script and xforms-1.0 correctly compiles and installs now.
It also installs the demos directory in /usr/share/doc/xforms/demos.

xforms needs no DEPENDS file as it only depends on xfree86 which is obviously
installed before anyone would try to compile xforms.

Also "lvu from libXpm.so" clearly returns 

xfree86-4.3.0:/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so
xfree86-4.3.0:/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4
xfree86-4.3.0:/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.11

as does "lvu from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so".

If it does not on your Lunar box then your xfree86 compile is probably
incorrect/incomplete.
