Because lots of places have users still using fvwm1 and expect that when
they put "fvwm" in a script, they get something that works with all of
their old config files. Since fvwm2 is incompatible with the old syntax,
it must have a different name.
We (the fvwm-workers) will probably at some point introduce a configure
flag to install it as just "fvwm".
