Subject:   qslim port fails to compile with new xforms port
Message-ID:  <3D32B6CF.39AE3706@math.missouri.edu>

graphics/qslim compiles fine with the old x11-toolkits/xforms port
xforms-0.88,1, but fails miserably with the new xforms-1.0,1 port. 
Looking around, it looks like the new xforms port is a complete rewrite
(even a license change).  So my initial impression is that what is
required is for someone to make a serious effort to rewrite qslim, which
seems like a huge amount of work to me.

What I suggest is that we introduce a legacy x11-toolkits/xforms088 so
that ports like qslim can still work in the meantime.  What do people
think about that?
