FVWM: Ideas for improvements to the configuration file

After having played with 2.1.7 for a while, the inconsistencies
in how various commands take their options began to annoy me.
The following changes would, in my opinion, make things cleaner
and simpler.

  Get rid of HighlightColor and specify HilightColorForeground
  and HilightColorBackground in Style commands.

  WindowFont should be part of the Style command as well.

  IconFont should be extended to a full IconStyle, with the
  default IconStyle inheriting the values that make sense for
  icons from the default Style unless they've been set explicitly.

  Where you're configuring the same thing, the option should be the
  same. For example, there's no reason to have Foreground and
  Background in MenuStyle and ForeColor and BackColor in Style.
