This not necessary since you can call FvwmForm with an arg. From the
man page:

INITIALIZATION
       FvwmForm uses the same configuration file (usually .fvwmrc
       in the user's home directory) as Fvwm. To use FvwmForm
       for multiple input forms, simply create symbolic links
       with different names, and they will be treated as differ­
       ent modules. Or, you can invoke FvwmForm with an optional
       parameter, which it will use as the name instead (e.g.
       'Module FvwmForm QuitVerify'). That way you don't even
       have to make a symbolic link for it!

Pretty nice, uh?

Emilio.
