# identity_getConfigOption.sh -- This function standardizes the way

# action values are retrived from pre-rendition configuration files.

# Use this function whenever you need to retrive action values from

# pre-rendition configuration script.

#

# Usage: VAR=$(identity_getConfigOption "ACTION" "FIELD")

#

# VAR is the name of the variable where we store the option named

# returned by identity_getConfigOption. 

#

# ACTION is the string definition set in the pre-rendition

# configuration script that holds the action name and its options

# fields.

#

# FIELD is the field number in the action string we want to retrive

# option from. By default options start from third field on. The first

# field is reserved for the action type (i.e., POST or LAST), and the

# second field is reserved for the action itself (e.g., renderFormats,

# renderSyslinux, renderKsplash, etc.).
