All reasonable tasks all doable in applications properly using autoconf.
Now, if you explain your problem better (like which version you want to
install (stable, from cvs, from tarball), whether installation hosts are
of the same architecture as the build host, whether they share certain
file systems including your source directory, whether they all should use
the same installation prefix and so on), then I may even give you exact
./configure and make options to achieve your specific task.
Also, there are additional fvwm specific solutions for rpm and deb based
systems, using "make rpm-dist [params]" and "make deb-dist [params]".

Mikhael.
