%%short-description: Manages installation process

%%full-description: Manages the installation process by keeping packages
separate while making them appear to be installed in the same
place. Stow doesn't store an extra state between runs, so there's no
danger of mangling directories when file hierarchies don't match the
database. Also, stow will never delete any files, directories, or
links that appear in a stow directory, so it is always possible to
rebuild the target tree.
