Description-en: Organizer for /usr/local software packages
GNU Stow is a software installation manager for /usr/local. Using
symbolic links, GNU Stow helps you keep the installations separate
(/usr/local/stow/emacs vs. /usr/local/stow/perl, for example) while
maintaining the illusion that they are all under /usr/local.
