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.

8394507891 Add cli.t for testing invocation of stow executable
Unlike the other tests, this actually treats stow(1) as a black box
script, running it directly rather than require-ing it as a library.
This allows us to check things like the exit codes returned.

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.

7ede3c8df0 fix naming of man page
The title of the generated man page was ending up as something like

  IO::FILE=IO(0XA719C0)(1)

Also, with newer perls (e.g. v5.22.1), pod2man requires --name if
used within a pipeline.

Closes #18.

cc0767597e another attempt to fix automake config
d527094b was not the right fix - Util.pm was being installed alongside
Stow.pm under $(PMDIR).  This should be the correct fix.
