XStow is a replacement of GNU Stow written in C++. It supports all features of Stow with some extensions. XStow as 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).
