Be careful. There are some parts of fvwm you want in your PATH,
(like FvwmCommand). Creating links or using full path names for
starting Fvwm doesn't help with that.
You could use a shell script containing something like this:
(start of fvwm25 shell script)
PATH=/myfvwm25/bin:$PATH
export PATH
exec fvwm
Note that things you start from your .xinitrc won't see this,
so if you start an xterm or emacs from your .xinitrc, it won't
run the right FvwmCommand.
