FVWM: WindowList feature, SortLastWord

I made a patch and put up a web page (patch included).
http://fries.net/~david/fvwm/

I noticed that a good number of the programs out there list the name
of the program as the last word on their title. I wanted a way to
group programs in the WindowList. The Alphabetic option to WindowList
can't do this since it always starts at the beginning of the title, so
I added an option SortLastWord which when used with the Alphabetic
option will sort the entries based on the last word and then start at
the front if the last word matches.

The patch is applied against today's fvwm CVS tree. I do have a
couple questions. I used the variable pscratch in the WindowList, but
I wasn't sure if I had to do anything special becides freeing the
memory before I exited, or do I need to zero it last?

What's the difference between safemalloc and malloc and do I need to
check to see if it succeeded?

Does it sound reasonable to require Alphabetic to use SortLastWord?

If someone could answer my questions I'll attack the gtk version as
well as the fvwm man page and then submit it again.
