This is known as the GSFR (Great Style Flag Rewrite) and is the very
first and most important thing that is planned for the post-2.1 FVWM
version. People have so many uses for this by now that 64 bits is
likely not enough; it'll have to be expandable (would anyway,
obviously).
Of course, the GSFR is really a legend and will never happen, because
FVWM 2.1 is a legend and will never happen (no offense to anyone in
particular, but it's been 2 years or more since I saw the first message
saying there was going to be one more "clean up" version, then 2.1; many
months, releases, and identical announcements later there seems to be
lots of enhancements but exactly 0 progress towards that goal. Just my
perspective :).
