Looks to me like ReadFile is used for .fvwm2rc and the "read" command,
and piperead.

If you look at ReadSubFunc (read.c), it looks like if the filename
doesn't start with a slash, it tries $HOME, and if that fails it tries
FVWMDIR.
I believe you get some environment variable expansion if you use M4 or
cpp. But some builtin expansion would be nice.
