# render_getConfOption.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=$(render_getConfOption "ACTION" "FIELD")
#
# VAR is the name of the variable where we store the option named
# returned by render_getConfOption. 
#
# 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., BASE, POST or LAST), and
# the second field is reserved for the action itself (e.g.,
# renderImage, renderFormats, etc.). Note that this convenction can be
# altered if the action string has been modified (e.g., you stript the
# BASE field from action string) and passed the modified action string
# to another function for processing.
