+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.
