This is GNU Stow, a program for managing the installation of software
packages, keeping them separate (/usr/local/stow/emacs vs.
/usr/local/stow/perl, for example) while making them appear to be installed in
the same place (/usr/local). Stow doesn't store an extra state between runs,
so there's no danger of mangling directories when file hierarchies don't match
the database. Also, stow will never delete any files, directories, or links
that appear in a stow directory, so it is always possible to rebuild the
target tree.
