Ok, after some debugging, I see what happens. And what I see is pretty
oppressing. With unicode locale and perl-5.8.0, but not perl-5.6.0, the
first lc("theme") returns "t0c0".

This is weird, because: 1) the same lc("theme") returns "theme" later,
2) I can't create a minimal perl script reproducing this problem,
3) I can't see how lc("theme") may become "t0c0" even with unicode.

My current hypothesis is a bug in perl-5.8.0, I am checking this.

Anyway, here is a workaround. Replace "lc($1)" with "$1" in
fvwm-themes-config[.in]. Another possibility is to run under older perl
or under non-unicode locale, so the following should work:

  env LANG=C make install

I can't guarantee that the rest will work though (try it) if there is
such fundamental bug.

Regards,
Mikhael.
