I have found a little problem in the tar ball and I've no solution
to solve it.
I do not know why but modules/FvwmScript/Scripts/FvwmScript-Setup95
is in the tarball (only the .in version should be in it).
FvwmScript-Setup95 is removed (normal) and build (not normal at all)
when we do a make dist. When building fvwm FvwmScript-Setup95 is
not rebuild from FvwmScript-Setup95.in. So, FvwmScript-Setup95
will work only if the prefix=/usr/local (or an other recent
version of fvwm is installed with this prefix ...).
The only fix I see is to do the following:
gunzip fvwm-2.4.0-pre2.tar.gz
tar -delete -vf fvwm-2.4.0-pre2.tar
fvwm-2.4.0/modules/FvwmScript/Scripts/FvwmScript-Setup95
gzip fvwm-2.4.0-pre2.tar
This is really only a partial fix since it does not seems that
FvwmScript-Setup95 is rebuild at the second configure even
if Makefile's are modified (say by changing the prefix).
Note that modules/FvwmScript/Scripts/Makefile.am is really
similar to modules/FvwmForm/Makefile.am but FvwmForm-Setup is not
in the tarball, however, if you do
./configure; make; ./configure --prefix=/foo; make; make install
FvwmForm-Setup is not rebuild at the second make and so
does not work ... (need a make clean before the second make;
work also for FvwmScript-Setup95)

I have only one or two Hoegaarden in my frigerator but
I do not think that this problem should stop the procedure.
I think we will see others small problems in the next few days,
and it will be good to release 2.4.1 in a short time.
