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.

7faa1d86dc HOWTO-RELEASE: use gnulib for gendocs instead of texinfo
These days it seems that gendocs can be done entirely from
the templates in gnulib, rather than requiring the texinfo
repository.
