Adam Spiers 3aa30ae1aa fix cross-references under --no-folding section of manual 
Under emacs, this was previously rendered as

    '--no-folding'

         This disables any further *note tree folding:: or *note tree
         refolding::.  If a new subdirectory is encountered whilst stowing a

which looks awkward.  Similarly under info(1):

    '--no-folding'

         This disables any further *note tree folding:: or *note tree
         refolding::.  If a new subdirectory is encountered whilst stowing a

The new way is undesirably repetitive, but at least grammatically
correct.  I don't think there's a better solution with texinfo :-/

Adam Spiers 27796720d5 Upgrade to GPL v3 and add headers to files (#44) 
Following advice from maintainers@gnu.org, bring Stow in line with
other GNU projects by upgrading it from GPL v2 to v3

  https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Licensing-of-GNU-Packages.html#Licensing-of-GNU-Packages

as obtained in plain text and texinfo formats from

  https://www.gnu.org/licenses/

and adding appropriate headers:

Adam Spiers 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.

Charles LeDoux 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.

not the info manual, so fix that.

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.
