Well, redefining the internal command is what I had been told to do:

http://groups.google.fr/group/fr.comp.text.tex/msg/30c381f70f2c92e1

(though this was before frenchb was used and then I had to replace
\FDP at space by \FDP at colonspace).

BTW, \renewcommand{\FDP at colonspace}{\FDP at thinspace} doesn't even work
with 2.4a when defined in the preamble anyway (no compilation error,
but no effect either).

But will \renewcommand{\Fcolonspace}{\thinspace} still work in
10 years?
