[ITP] stow


I would like to package and maintain stow for Cygwin.  Stow is an 
installation manager for local software packages.  It installs packages by 
creating sets of symlinks from the installed location (e.g. /usr/local) to 
a stow directory (e.g. /usr/local/stow/emacs) where the real files live. 
This allows you to keep packages separate, while making them appear to be 
installed in the same place.

Stow is available in the current stable, testing, and unstable releases of 
Debian, e.g. http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/stow.

Source homepage:    http://directory.fsf.org/stow.html
Source download:    http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/stow/stow-1.3.3.tar.gz
Language:           Perl

The Cygwin packages are ready for upload, at the URLs below.  Please 
upload them once they've undergone any necessary review.

Thanks,
Andrew.
