To fill this gap, there are a number of tutorials and docs on the WWW.
The example file may rather point to, e.g.,

http://frank.uvena.de/de/LaTeX/moderncv/ (German)
http://www.surefoss.org/workflow/akademische-lebenslaufe-mit-latex-und-dem-moderncv-package/
(German)
http://www.linux-community.de/Internal/Artikel/Print-Artikel/LinuxUser/2012/09/Bewerbungen-erstellen-mit-der-LaTeX-Klasse-Modern-CV/

(As to the original misleading title of this bug report: IMO support and
documentation of commercial software (in general) is by no means better.
Of course, whith widely used programs the chance to find a competent user
nearby is higher the with "of the box" programs.
