XStow is a replacement for GNU Stow written in C++. It supports all features of
GNU Stow with some extensions. Even the command line options are compatible. 

XStow and GNU Stow are programs for managing the installation of software
packages, keeping them separate (/usr/local/stow/emacs vs.
/usr/local/stow/perl, for example) while making them appear to be installed in
the same place (/usr/local).

XStow installs packages in the exact same way as GNU Stow.
