[Bug-stow] stow cannot work on symlinks

[Peter Baumann]

I found a bug in stow.

Here a short description. On my system /usr/local/man is a link
to /usr/local/share/man (relative link in /usr/local).
If I wants to stow a package (autoconf) which has files for e.g. 
/usr/local/man/man1/
stow just stops with the error

stow: CONFLICT: /usr/local/stow/autoconf-2.52/man vs. /usr/local/man

Is it possible to check if a directory links to a package under the 
stowdirectory and
if not, just stow the package ? (for my example, to just  create the links in 
/usr/local/share/man/man1)
[May be tricky, because you can't use relative links, I think.]


Feature Request:
        a config file (e.g. stow.rc) in each package where you can specify the 
target directory (-t option)
        would be nice because I wants to have one directory where all my 
packages are located, also if
        they are stowed over the whole system. 
        
A short answer would be nice. 
(Please forgive me my native english speakin :-))
