FVWM: Nice-to-have: relocatable installation

2.4.5 on Solaris (soon to be 2.4.7). The more I discover about this
wm, the better I like it.

I configure with the --prefix option so I needn't be root to
install. I also have the configuration I need, so I no longer
require "ConfigFvwmDefaults". If I relocate the installation to a
different directory, I get a runtime error at startup telling me
ConfigFvwmDefaults couldn't be found. Everything still works, so
the error is benign, but it would be nice if I could suppress the
message. (I can work around it with a symlink from the old prefix
to the new location, but I'm hoping for a more elegant solution.) I
also tried putting in a "dummy" ConfigFvwmDefaults in $HOME/.fvwm
and in the old prefix area (the two locations it told me it
searched) but it didn't help. Any suggestions are appreciated.
