USAGE

       Here are some real life usages.

       Checks for xft support: if fvwm-config --supports-xft; then echo 1; else echo 0; fi

       fvwm-themes package checks for the correct fvwm version installed using: fvwm-config
       --version

       and tries to use the same installation directories: fvwm-config --bindir --mandir
       --fvwm-datadir

       A way to find the full path to the fvwm executable: echo fvwm-config --bindir/fvwm-config
       --fvwm-exe

       A way to start modules in perl: use lib fvwm-config -p | tr -d '; use FVWM::Module;

       For a more human readable output, try: fvwm-config --info
