Adam Spiers 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.

Fixes #22: https://github.com/aspiers/stow/issues/22

Adam Spiers 7b43622dd9 fix stowing of relative links when --no-folding is used 
With a tree like this:

    .
    |-- stow
    |   `-- pkg
    |       `-- lib
    |           |-- itk-current -> itk4.0.0
    |           `-- itk4.0.0
    |               `-- libitk4.0.0.so
    `-- target
        `-- lib
            |-- itk4.0.0 -> ../../stow/pkg/lib/itk4.0.0
            `-- libfoo-1.2.3.so

stowing pkg with the --no-folding option resulted in itk-current
being "unpacked":

    .
    `-- target
        `-- lib
            |-- itk-current
            |   `-- libitk4.0.0.so -> ../../../stow/pkg/lib/itk-current/libitk4.0.0.so
            |-- itk4.0.0
            |   `-- libitk4.0.0.so -> ../../../stow/pkg/lib/itk4.0.0/libitk4.0.0.so
            `-- libfoo-1.2.3.so

This commit fixes it so that it gets stowed as a symlink:

  .
  `-- target
      `-- lib
          ...
          |-- itk-current -> ../../stow/pkg/lib/itk-current
          ...

Thanks to Gabriele Balducci for reporting this problem:

Adam Spiers d788ce0c1c avoid precedence warning 
With Perl 5.20, installing a package with stow gives a warning like
this:

  Possible precedence issue with control flow operator at
  /gar/packages/stow-2.2.0/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.20.0/Stow.pm line 1736.

Adam Spiers c500216f20 correctly handle the stow/target directories as non-canonical paths 
Fix the case discovered by Hiroyuki Iwatsuki where stowing fails if
the stow / target directories are non-canonical paths.  For example,
on FreeBSD /home is a symlink pointing to 'usr/home', so running with
the stow directory as /home/user/local/stow and the target directory
as /home/user/local previously resulted in the stow directory path
being calculated as ../../../usr/home/user/local/stow relative to
the target.

Adam Spiers 8357dca645 Remove "There are no outstanding operations to perform" warning. 
This is more in keeping with the UNIX convention of no output on success,
and is also the way Stow v1.x behaved.  Thanks to Adam Sampson for the suggestion.
