Historically, Fvwm's "Echo" command has sent its output to stderr, and then more recently to a dedicated log file. However, modules have no way of therefore seeing the output from an echo command, especially if it's used to gain information about the state of fvwm for use in a shell script. Therefore, add a new event, echo, which will broadcast to interested modules, the message that was sent from the Echo command. Currently supported by FvwmMFL and FvwmEvent.
In order to support external scripts, allow for messages to be sent in bulk, as in: echo "set echo\nEcho hello" | nc -U $FVWMMFL_SOCKET which would send both "set echo", and "Echo hello" to FvwmMFL (and hence Fvwm).
