is imo better, b'cause more correct (afai have understood)

is it a general problem with xforms-0.88.1?
configure detects the version, so it could give an error

so INSTALL should look like this

if ./configure claims that your xforms library is 0.88.1, which is not 
compatible with LyX, please downgrade to xforms-0.88 (i.e. RedHat 
package xforms-0.88-9 from RedHat 6.2)
