311c2d139e Improve the history of individual contributions and repositories
The source code has been through a rather complicated journey, and
it's occasionally useful to understand this history from CVS to a
private Subversion repository to its current location in git.  So
document this more thoroughly, and ensure that everyone involved
is in the THANKS file.

as obtained in plain text and texinfo formats from

72ef83cebd Fix old descriptions of Stow (#22)
De-emphasise the package management aspects, since these days
almost everyone prefers to use modern package managers such as
rpm / dpkg / Nix for (system-wide) package management.

Also include more popular modern use cases for Stow such as management
of dotfiles and software compiled in the user's $HOME directory.
