Thanks for the feature request.  I'd like to understand it better.  Is
it similar to https://github.com/aspiers/stow/issues/3 ?  It would
help me a lot if you could give a concrete example with the exact paths
of the stow directory, target directory, and files within the Stow
package(s).

I'm copying this to the help-stow list in case there are other users
interested in this.  Out of respect for your privacy I've kept your
email address in Bcc, but I'd prefer to continue this discussion on
the public list if you don't mind, so that others can benefit from it.

Thanks,
Adam
