9c402559d2 Include the preamble in online versions of the manual 
This is more inline with the suggestion in the texinfo manual:

https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/_0040top-Command.html

and also the preamble is useful in all cases.

dc42c34107 Add function to expand ~ in .stowrc files (#14) 
Add a new expand_tilde() function that performs tilde expansion of
strings, and corresponding unit tests:

    * A ~ at the beginning of a path is expanded to the user's home
      directory.
    * Literal '~' can be provided with '\~'

Combine this with expand_environment() in a new expand_filepath()
function which applies all (both) required expansion functions to a
string, and use that in get_config_file_options() to expand .stowrc
options.

Add more tests to check that tilde expanded in correct places, i.e.:

    * expanded for --target and --dir
    * not expanded for --ignore, --defer, or --override

Update documentation on stowrc files according to this functionality
change.

c3cbdeb812 Synchronise --verbose documentation 
The man page was updated with regard to higher --verbose levels but
not the info manual, so fix that.

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.

5a8d275c47 replace a "you" typo with better text 
The contents are prepended to the arguments; they still come after the
stow executable.

fd10706ce3 HOWTO-RELEASE: use Docker to test before releasing 
Charles LeDoux did some awesome work providing this Docker environment
which can test across multiple Perl versions using perlbrew, so it
would be crazy not to use it.

17bbfb05c6 further refine the release process 
Let's try a new approach where we increment the version number
immediately after publishing a release, not just before.

This will mean that anyone who builds from git gets a version of Stow
which is higher than the release which was just cut, and this could
provide valuable debugging hints in case a bug report does not clearly
state whether the problem arose with the latest release or with a build
from git.

These days it seems that gendocs can be done entirely from
the templates in gnulib, rather than requiring the texinfo
repository.
