What I do is have separate files for colour, style, functions, popups, modules and the like.
I then use a central .fvwmrc file to read these files in at startup.
If I want to change a module's config, then I just edit its file and use the read command, either from a function or a FvwmTalk.
eg
AddToFunc CopyRead "I" Exec exec cp $HOME/.fvwm/$0 $HOME/.fvwm/$1
+ "I" Read .fvwm/$1
so goodstuff can be changed with this function:
CopyRead new_goodstuff goodstuff
Hope this helps

p.s. Chuck could it be possible to make Read default to first reading the directory where fvwmrc has been specified:
ie
my config is $HOME/.fvwm/fvwmrc
and I want read to start looking for files from $HOME/.fvwm
