+ <para>A Multi standard frontend needs to advertise the delivery systems provided.
+ Applications need to enumerate the provided delivery systems, before using

+ FE_GET_INFO was used to determine a frontend type. A frontend which
+ provides more than a single delivery system, FE_GET_INFO doesn't help much.
+ Applications which intends to use a multistandard frontend must enumerate
+ the delivery systems associated with it, rather than trying to use
+ FE_GET_INFO. In the case of a legacy frontend, the result is just the same
