Or if the extra preprocessing isn't needed, simply extract the
relevant sections to another file (.fvwm2rc.icons) and replace it with
a simple "Read .fvwm2rc.icons".

I believe that this could be done in a module (FvwmIconChoser?)
without too much difficulty (also likely the only way it'd ever get
into fvwm). I might have to add the ability to recapture a single
window though (which I planned to do eventually) to get it to truly
work correctly.
