After recovering from a disk crash I took a look at the tool. The first thing I noticed is that it uses fvwm-1.x syntax. We're now many years into fvwm-2.x developtment and the configuration syntax has changed drastically. I'm not sure it's even useful to still support the old version. Other than that, it seems to do a good job of maintaining a limited set of configuration options. It would be cool if it were possible to get help on the specific options - maybe by automatically extracting portions of the man page, but that requires to change the documentation on a big scale. You should definitely take a look at the fvwm-themes package (a link in on the fvwm home page). It already does a lot of similar work. It even has its own mailing list.
