And I agree too, even though I have plenty of memory.

One could argue that fvwm already have an interpreter built-in! This
interpreter takes up some 200 lines of code. A TCL interpreter takes
up 4000 lines (I believe) and can usually be loaded as a shared
library. And if you use anything like tkman, tkgoodstuff or similar,
you already have that shared library loaded...
