Stow was written by Bob Glickstein <bobg+stow@zanshin.com>, Zanshin Software, Inc. Contributions from Gord Matzigkeit <gord@enci.ucalgary.ca>. John Bazik wrote `fastcwd', the Perl subroutine for computing the current working directory. Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpbs@debian.org> wrote the fix to prevent stow -D / stow -R removing initially-empty directories. Stow is currently maintained by Guillaume Morin <gmorin@gnu.org>.
