I think this should be 'zxvf'. Otherwise the archive is not
extracted, but rather the files contained in it are listed to stdout.

Does fvwm have a 'configure' file? I compiled 2.0.45 last week and the
process was:
edit Fvwm.tmpl
make Makefiles
make
[snip]
While I'm writing, I thought I'd mention the following.
I compiled v2.0.45, realised I'd left out a critical '/' in one of the
paths in Fvwm.tmpl, so made the change to that file, and started the
process again. The trouble was that 'make Makefiles' didn't rebuild
the Makefiles in the directories fvwm, modules/*, etc. It was no
problem, as I just deleted all of the old Makefiles and ran
'make Makefiles' again, but shouldn't make detect the change in
Fvwm.tmpl (which, after all, affects xmkmf's output in this case).
