Thank you, David. I noticed something similar sometime after the 
release of 1.0.90 and so did something similar myself. Funnily 
enough, I was just playing with the .spec file myself this evening 
when your mail arrived. Attached is my version of xforms.spec which 
is a little more complex than yours but which results in a fully 
relocatable rpm:

$ rpm -i --prefix /usr/local xforms-1.0.90-1.i386.rpm

I've been somewhat lax recently...

%description
XForms is a GUI toolkit based on Xlib for X Window Systems. It
features a rich set of objects, such as buttons, sliders, and menus
etc. integrated into an easy and efficient object/event callback
execution model that allows fast and easy construction of
X-applications. In addition, the library is extensible and new objects
can easily be created and added to the library.
