Great. Since you are a lyx developper, I think we can safely
that your advice and continue to build using 0.89.

I tracked down the change (dated 2000/04/26) in the README file to
http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/lyx-devel/README.diff?r1=1.3&r2=1.4
The diff is:
< 2. The Xforms library version 0.81, 0.86 or 0.88.
> 2. The Xforms library version 0.88 (recommended) or 0.89.
In that context (the change made and the date it was made on),
the comment doesn't really seem that conclusive against 0.89.
Version 0.89 was still changing a bit, so 0.88 was probably safer
at that point? (I'm speculating)
I'd very appreciate it if you could edit the README and INSTALL
files in CVS so this is made clearer. (It would be nicer still
if a few words were found on the Lyx web site, but that may be
beyond your control. Should I file a wislist bug at SF?)

Thanks! Good to know. There should be a link from www.lyx.org
too. ;-)
