New port: GNU Stow (sysutils/stow)

Hi all,

This being my first port, I thought I'd better start with something simple. I've been using GNU Stow for a couple of years on a large number of unices to keep track of software.

Please, see if I made any newbie errors in the Makefile, or elsewhere.

If it's ok, I'd be happy if someone could commit it.

BTW, is someone making a port of anacron? http://anacron.sourceforge.net/

If not, I might do it.

>From DESCR:

    GNU Stow is a Perl program for managing the installation of     software packages, keeping them separate (/opt/stow/emacs     vs. /opt/stow/perl, for example) while making them appear to     be installed in the same place (/opt).

Do you need help?

    Stow was inspired by Carnegie Mellon's Depot program, but     is substantially simpler. Whereas Depot requires database     files to keep things in sync, Stow stores no extra state     between runs, so there's no danger (as there is in Depot)     of mangling directories when file hierarchies don't match     the database. Also unlike Depot, Stow will never delete any     files, directories, or links that appear in a Stow directory     (e.g., /opt/stow/emacs), so it's always possible to rebuild     the target tree (e.g., /opt).

    Stow is free software, licensed under the GNU General Public     License.
