I am sure it would do -- but since "-f" passing on the command line
just uses "Read" internally, you can't do:

fvwm -f some_file

or:

fvwm -f ./some_file

... and mean CWD -- since FVWM assumes that to be relative to
FVWM_USERDIR -- that's fine.  But that check should still happen, as
it's cumbersome having to keep doing:

fvwm -f $(pwd)/somefile

It's been annoying me now for about a year.
