+GNU Stow is a symlink farm manager which takes distinct packages of
+software and/or data located in separate directories on the
+filesystem, and makes them appear to be installed in the same place.
+
+This is particularly useful for keeping track of system-wide and
+per-user installations of software built from source, but can also
+facilitate a more controlled approach to management of configuration
+files in the user's home directory, especially when coupled with
+version control systems.
+
+Stow is implemented as a combination of a Perl script providing a CLI
+interface, and a backend Perl module which does most of the work. Stow
+is Free Software, licensed under the GNU General Public License.
