Question 1.
In config/configure.ac I have:
AC_INIT(xforms,1.1cvs,xforms@bob.usuhs.mil)
AC_PREREQ(2.52)
dnl AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR(src/main.C)
Ditto, config/configure.in begins:
AC_INIT(src/main.C)
What _should_ I have, given that xforms is a library, not an executable.

I do.
I have so far simply hacked down LyX's configure stuff. Ie, I have included
all the tests LyX makes that xforms also requires. I have not yet considered
adding xforms-specific tests.
I'll get the hacked down stuff working properly (all that remains is to
rewrite LYX_PROG_CXX as the rather simpler XFORMS_PROG_C) and then post it to
the LyX list; the licences of the two projects are different, so I'll need
approval of all authors etc, etc...

Good idea actually. No it wouldn't.
