       -S --sysconfdir
	      prints the installation sysconfdir

       -M --mandir
	      prints the installation mandir

       -O --localedir
	      prints the installation localedir

       -m --fvwm-moduledir

       -d --fvwm-datadir
	      prints FVWM_DATADIR, where the system wide configs are installed

       -p --fvwm-perllibdir

       -e --fvwm-exe
	      prints the fvwm executable name (in bindir)

       -s --supports
	      lists all supported features, one per line

       --supports-
	      prints nothing, returns: 0 if the  is supported, 100 if not, 200 if unknown.  All or  supported	fea‐
	      ture 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
