	    not, 200 if unknown.  All or supported feature names  may  be  found
	    using --info or --supports respectively.

     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 '0`;
	    use FVWM::Module;

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