+              GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+                Version 3, 29 June 2007
+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                     Preamble
+
+  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
+software and other kinds of works.
+
+  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
+to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
+the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
+GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
+any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
+these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
+certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
+you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
+freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
+or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
+know their rights.
+
+  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
+(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
+giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
+
+  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
+that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
+authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
+changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
+authors of previous versions.
+
+  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
+modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
+can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
+protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
+pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
+use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
+have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
+products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
+stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
+of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
+
+  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
+States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
+software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
+avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
+make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
+patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+  0. Definitions.
+
+  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
+works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
+License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
+"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
+in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
+exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
+earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
+
+  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
+on the Program.
+
+  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
+public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+  1. Source Code.
+
+  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
+for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
+form of a work.
+
+  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
+is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
+than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
+implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
+control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
+which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for
+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
+Source.
+
+  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
+same work.
+
+  2. Basic Permissions.
+
+  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
+content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
+in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
+not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
+the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
+makes it unnecessary.
+
+  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+
+  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
+measures.
+
+  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
+technological measures.
+
+  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+
+  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+    it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+    released under this License and any conditions added under section
+    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+    "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
+    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
+    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+    work need not make them do so.
+
+  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
+beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
+parts of the aggregate.
+
+  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
+in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+    customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
+    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+    with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
+    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
+    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
+    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+    charge under subsection 6d.
+
+  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
+included in conveying the object code work.
+
+  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
+into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
+the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+modification has been made.
+
+  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
+by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
+been installed in ROM).
+
+  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
+protocols for communication across the network.
+
+  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
+source code form), and must require no special password or key for
+unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+  7. Additional Terms.
+
+  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
+that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
+this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
+it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
+    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
+    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+    authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+    those licensors and authors.
+
+  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+governed by this License along with a term that is a further
+restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
+not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
+the above requirements apply either way.
+
+  8. Termination.
+
+  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
+paragraph of section 11).
+
+  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
+prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
+your receipt of the notice.
+
+  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
+this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+material under section 10.
+
+  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
+run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
+modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
+not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
+propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
+organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
+rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+  11. Patents.
+
+  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
+consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
+this License.
+
+  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
+propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
+sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
+patent against the party.
+
+  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
+country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
+work and works based on it.
+
+  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
+specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
+under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
+combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
+but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
+section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
+combination as such.
+
+  14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
+the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
+GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
+by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
+versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's

+

+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

+# The backstop command
+
+The backstop command is a UNIX, Linux, and *BSD tool. Intuitively,
+backstop fills in the missing objects or holes that exist in the
+target directory relative to the source directories thereby creating a
+merged view of the target and source directories.  De-backstop undoes
+this.  See "backstop -m" for a manual page or the
+[homepage](https://github.com/mdgabriel/backstop.git) for more
+information.
+
+The command backstop was created over twenty years ago to manage
+development environement toolchains in which part of the project was
+under source control and part of the project was not, e.g. binaries.
+It was inspired by lndir, graft, and "Source Control to Project
+Control: Applying RCS and SCCS" by Don Bolinger and Tan Bronson.
+Techniques have changed with time, but backstop is a robust tool
+with an extensive test suite that runs around 2700 tests, a
+combination of HUnit, QuickCheck, and black box tests.
+
+In the author's obviously biased veiw, backstop has pedagogical
+value.  The module Backstop uses a ReaderT monad transformer to
+manage an Environment passed to it via the command line, a StateT
+monad transformer to keep track of a set of counters and to keep track
+of the status of direcotry content while backstopping or
+de-backstopping.  The last two are Monoids.  With this structure,
+the handling of a dry-run for backstop or de-backstop is rather
+powerful even it is a bit subtle (obscure) to understand.
+
+On a personal note, the author truly began to appreciate Haskell after
+creating the Backstop module and its test suite and has not stopped
+appreciating Haskell since.

+
+DESCRIPTION
+   Backstop a target directory by source directories thereby
+   creating a backing chain using relative symbolic links by default
+   or absolute symbolic links by option.  If more than one source
+   directory is given, backstop the target directory with each
+   source directory in turn starting from left to right on the
+   command line.
+
+   Intuitively, backstop fills in the missing objects or holes that
+   exist in the target directory relative to the source directories
+   thereby creating a merged view of the target and source
+   directories.
+
+   De-backstop a target directory by its source directories.  In
+   this case, the source directories no longer need to exist.  If
+   more than one source directory is given, de-backstop the target
+   directory by the source directories.
+
+   Symbolic links are never followed.  However, the target and
+   source directories are canonicalized (realpath(3)) internally by
+   the command backstop before backstopping and de-backstoppoing.
+
+   By default no output is displayed except possibly to STDERR.
+
+ALGORITHM
+   There must be at least two arguments or operands.  The first
+   operand is the target directory, and the second operand and
+   beyond are source directories.  The target and source directory
+   must be parallel directories, that is, neither canonicalized
+   (realpath(3)) directory path may be a sub-directory of the other.
+   If the above is not true, a usage error occurs.
+
+   Nevertheless, pathnames are internally in reduced form such that
+   symbolic link names are treated literally when finding directory
+   names.  See "cd -L" of ksh(1).  In other words, components in the
+   pathname that are not directories but symbolic links to
+   directories are not resolved to their corresponding directories.
+
+   A list of objects or names is collected under the root of the
+   source directory excluding the directory dot (.) and the
+   directory double-dot (..).  If the list is empty, the algorithm
+   is done, otherwise the objects divide into two classes, objects
+   that are not directories and objects that are directories.  There
+   are five possibilities:
+
+   1. The object is either dot (.) or double-dot (..) whereupon no
+      action is taken.
+
+   2. If an object of the same name as the name of the object under
+      the root of the source directory does not exists under the
+      root of the target directory, then a symbolic link, relative
+      or absolute as required, is created under the root of the
+      target directory to the object under the root of the source
+      directory.  If populating (-p) and the object under the root
+      of the source directory is a directory, then a sub-directory
+      is created instead.
+
+   3. If an object of the same name as the name of the object under
+      the root of the source directory does exists under the root of
+      the target directory and is a file, no action is taken,
+      regardless of whether or not the object under the root of the
+      source directory is a file or a directory.
+
+   4. If an object of the same name as the name of the object under
+      the root of the source directory does exists under the root of
+      the target directory and is a directory, and if the object of
+      the same name under the root of the source directory is a
+      file, no action is taken.
+
+   5. If an object of the same name as the name of the object under
+      the root of the source directory does exists under the root of
+      the target directory and is a directory, and if the object of
+      the same name under the root of the source directory is also a
+      directory, then recursion occurs with the objects of the same
+      name under the roots of the target and source directories as
+      new root target and source directories, respectively.
+
+   When de-backstopping a target directory by source directories,
+   the sources no longer need to exist.  Symbolic links under the
+   target are removed if and only if they point to a pahtname under
+   one of the source directories.  This can be determined even if
+   the source directory no longer exists because symbolic links
+   within directory pathnames are taken literally.  See "cd -L" of
+   ksh(1).
+
+   When de-populating while de-backstopping (-pd), a directory is
+   removed if all objects within the directory are symbolic links
+   that have been remove while de-backstopping.  An empty directory
+   is removed if and only if there exists a corresponding directory
+   path under one of the source directories as under the target
+   directory.  This can only be determined if the source directory
+   and correponding sub-directory still exist.  If not, then no
+   action is taken.
+
+OPTIONS
+   The following options are supported:
+
+   -a Create symbolic links which are absolute paths.
+
+   -d De-backstop the target directory by its source directories.
+      The -a option has no affect on the -d option.
+
+   -h Display a short command summary.
+
+   -l Display the backstop license terms.
+
+   -m Display this internal manual page.
+
+   -n Take no action but trace possible program execution.  The -n
+      option implies the -t option.
+
+   -p Populate the target by making equivalent sub-directories of
+      the source sub-directories instead of symbolic links for these
+      sub-directories that point back into the sources.  For
+      example, if the target directory is empty, then for a set of
+      source directories, from left to right on the command line,
+      this creates a combined directory structure of the sources
+      under the target directory in which all non-directories are
+      symbolic links pointing back into the source directories.
+      This is similar to the lndir(1) command of the X consortium.
+
+      With the -d option, all sub-directories emptied of symbolic
+      links under the target directory are removed, and all empty
+      directories are removed if and only if the correspoding
+      sub-directory under the source directory exists.
+
+   -r Report the number of symbolic links and directories created,
+      the number of calls and maximum depth of backstop, the
+      maximum breadth observed by backstop, and the number of non-
+      fatal errors encountered.  With the -d option, show the
+      number of symbolic links and directories removed.
+
+   -t Show the trace of program execution.  The output is a list
+      of executable commands.
+
+   -v The version of backstop.
+
+   -y A synopsis of the internal manual page.
+
+OPERANDS
+   trgdir
+      The directory that will be backed by other directories.  The
+      target directory can be backed by multiple source directories
+      where each source directory could be backed by yet another
+      directory or multiple directories thereby creating an
+      extensible backing chain.
+
+   srcdir
+      The directory which backs a target directory.  The source
+      directory can be backed by multiple additional directories
+      where each additional directory could be backed by yet another
+      directory or multiple directories thereby creating an
+      extensible backing chain.
+
+USAGE NOTES
+   Evolved with ghc 6.10, 6.12, 7.0, 7.4, 7.10, 8.0.2, and 8.4.1.
+   Tested with 8.4.1.

+   backstop:
+
+       EXIT CODE    MEANING
+          251       Less than two operands.
+          252       Not a directory, that is, trgdir or one or more
+                    of the srcdir are not a directory.
+          253       Not parallel directories, that is, a srcdir is
+                    a sub-directory of trgdir or vice versa, or one
+                    of the srcdir is a sub-directory of another
+                    srcdir.
+          254       Not yet implemented.
+          255       Non-fatal errors occurred.  Error messages are
+                    sent to STDERR for each non-fatal error that
+                    occurred with return code equal to the number of
+                    non-falal errors if less than 251, otherwise the
+                    return code is 255, that is, "infinity".

+    "  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for\n"++
+    "software and other kinds of works.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed\n"++
+    "to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,\n"++
+    "the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to\n"++
+    "share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free\n"++
+    "software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the\n"++
+    "GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to\n"++
+    "any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to\n"++
+    "your programs, too.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not\n"++
+    "price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you\n"++
+    "have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for\n"++
+    "them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you\n"++
+    "want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new\n"++
+    "free programs, and that you know you can do these things.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you\n"++
+    "these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have\n"++
+    "certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if\n"++
+    "you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether\n"++
+    "gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same\n"++
+    "freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive\n"++
+    "or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they\n"++
+    "know their rights.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:\n"++
+    "(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License\n"++
+    "giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains\n"++
+    "that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and\n"++
+    "authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as\n"++
+    "changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to\n"++
+    "authors of previous versions.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run\n"++
+    "modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer\n"++
+    "can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of\n"++
+    "protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic\n"++
+    "pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to\n"++
+    "use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we\n"++
+    "have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those\n"++
+    "products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we\n"++
+    "stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions\n"++
+    "of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.\n"++
+    "States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of\n"++
+    "software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to\n"++
+    "avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could\n"++
+    "make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that\n"++
+    "patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and\n"++
+    "modification follow.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  0. Definitions.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  \"This License\" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  \"Copyright\" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of\n"++
+    "works, such as semiconductor masks.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  \"The Program\" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this\n"++
+    "License.  Each licensee is addressed as \"you\".  \"Licensees\" and\n"++
+    "\"recipients\" may be individuals or organizations.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  To \"modify\" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work\n"++
+    "in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an\n"++
+    "exact copy.  The resulting work is called a \"modified version\" of the\n"++
+    "earlier work or a work \"based on\" the earlier work.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  A \"covered work\" means either the unmodified Program or a work based\n"++
+    "on the Program.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  To \"propagate\" a work means to do anything with it that, without\n"++
+    "permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for\n"++
+    "infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a\n"++
+    "computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,\n"++
+    "distribution (with or without modification), making available to the\n"++
+    "public, and in some countries other activities as well.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  To \"convey\" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other\n"++
+    "parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through\n"++
+    "a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  An interactive user interface displays \"Appropriate Legal Notices\"\n"++
+    "to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible\n"++
+    "feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)\n"++
+    "tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the\n"++
+    "extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the\n"++
+    "work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If\n"++
+    "the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a\n"++
+    "menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  1. Source Code.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  The \"source code\" for a work means the preferred form of the work\n"++
+    "for making modifications to it.  \"Object code\" means any non-source\n"++
+    "form of a work.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  A \"Standard Interface\" means an interface that either is an official\n"++
+    "standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of\n"++
+    "interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that\n"++
+    "is widely used among developers working in that language.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  The \"System Libraries\" of an executable work include anything, other\n"++
+    "than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of\n"++
+    "packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major\n"++
+    "Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that\n"++
+    "Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an\n"++
+    "implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A\n"++
+    "\"Major Component\", in this context, means a major essential component\n"++
+    "(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system\n"++
+    "(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to\n"++
+    "produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  The \"Corresponding Source\" for a work in object code form means all\n"++
+    "the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable\n"++
+    "work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to\n"++
+    "control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's\n"++
+    "System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free\n"++
+    "programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but\n"++
+    "which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source\n"++
+    "includes interface definition files associated with source files for\n"++
+    "the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically\n"++
+    "linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,\n"++
+    "such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those\n"++
+    "subprograms and other parts of the work.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users\n"++
+    "can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding\n"++
+    "Source.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that\n"++
+    "same work.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  2. Basic Permissions.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of\n"++
+    "copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated\n"++
+    "conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited\n"++
+    "permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a\n"++
+    "covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its\n"++
+    "content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your\n"++
+    "rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not\n"++
+    "convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains\n"++
+    "in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose\n"++
+    "of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you\n"++
+    "with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with\n"++
+    "the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do\n"++
+    "not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works\n"++
+    "for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction\n"++
+    "and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of\n"++
+    "your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under\n"++
+    "the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10\n"++
+    "makes it unnecessary.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological\n"++
+    "measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article\n"++
+    "11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or\n"++
+    "similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such\n"++
+    "measures.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid\n"++
+    "circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention\n"++
+    "is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to\n"++
+    "the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or\n"++
+    "modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's\n"++
+    "users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of\n"++
+    "technological measures.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you\n"++
+    "receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and\n"++
+    "appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;\n"++
+    "keep intact all notices stating that this License and any\n"++
+    "non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;\n"++
+    "keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all\n"++
+    "recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,\n"++
+    "and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to\n"++
+    "produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the\n"++
+    "terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified\n"++
+    "    it, and giving a relevant date.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is\n"++
+    "    released under this License and any conditions added under section\n"++
+    "    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to\n"++
+    "    \"keep intact all notices\".\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this\n"++
+    "    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This\n"++
+    "    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7\n"++
+    "    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,\n"++
+    "    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no\n"++
+    "    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not\n"++
+    "    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display\n"++
+    "    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive\n"++
+    "    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your\n"++
+    "    work need not make them do so.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent\n"++
+    "works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,\n"++
+    "and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,\n"++
+    "in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an\n"++
+    "\"aggregate\" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not\n"++
+    "used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users\n"++
+    "beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work\n"++
+    "in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other\n"++
+    "parts of the aggregate.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms\n"++
+    "of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the\n"++
+    "machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,\n"++
+    "in one of these ways:\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product\n"++
+    "    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the\n"++
+    "    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium\n"++
+    "    customarily used for software interchange.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product\n"++
+    "    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a\n"++
+    "    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as\n"++
+    "    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product\n"++
+    "    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a\n"++
+    "    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the\n"++
+    "    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical\n"++
+    "    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no\n"++
+    "    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this\n"++
+    "    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the\n"++
+    "    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the\n"++
+    "    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This\n"++
+    "    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and\n"++
+    "    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord\n"++
+    "    with subsection 6b.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated\n"++
+    "    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the\n"++
+    "    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no\n"++
+    "    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the\n"++
+    "    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to\n"++
+    "    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source\n"++
+    "    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)\n"++
+    "    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain\n"++
+    "    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the\n"++
+    "    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the\n"++
+    "    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is\n"++
+    "    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided\n"++
+    "    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding\n"++
+    "    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no\n"++
+    "    charge under subsection 6d.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded\n"++
+    "from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be\n"++
+    "included in conveying the object code work.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  A \"User Product\" is either (1) a \"consumer product\", which means any\n"++
+    "tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,\n"++
+    "or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation\n"++
+    "into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,\n"++
+    "doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular\n"++
+    "product received by a particular user, \"normally used\" refers to a\n"++
+    "typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status\n"++
+    "of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user\n"++
+    "actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product\n"++
+    "is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial\n"++
+    "commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent\n"++
+    "the only significant mode of use of the product.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  \"Installation Information\" for a User Product means any methods,\n"++
+    "procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install\n"++
+    "and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from\n"++
+    "a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must\n"++
+    "suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object\n"++
+    "code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because\n"++
+    "modification has been made.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or\n"++
+    "specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as\n"++
+    "part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the\n"++
+    "User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a\n"++
+    "fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the\n"++
+    "Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied\n"++
+    "by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply\n"++
+    "if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install\n"++
+    "modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has\n"++
+    "been installed in ROM).\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a\n"++
+    "requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates\n"++
+    "for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for\n"++
+    "the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a\n"++
+    "network may be denied when the modification itself materially and\n"++
+    "adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and\n"++
+    "protocols for communication across the network.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,\n"++
+    "in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly\n"++
+    "documented (and with an implementation available to the public in\n"++
+    "source code form), and must require no special password or key for\n"++
+    "unpacking, reading or copying.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  7. Additional Terms.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  \"Additional permissions\" are terms that supplement the terms of this\n"++
+    "License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.\n"++
+    "Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall\n"++
+    "be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent\n"++
+    "that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions\n"++
+    "apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately\n"++
+    "under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by\n"++
+    "this License without regard to the additional permissions.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option\n"++
+    "remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of\n"++
+    "it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own\n"++
+    "removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place\n"++
+    "additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,\n"++
+    "for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you\n"++
+    "add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of\n"++
+    "that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the\n"++
+    "    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or\n"++
+    "    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal\n"++
+    "    Notices displayed by works containing it; or\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or\n"++
+    "    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in\n"++
+    "    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or\n"++
+    "    authors of the material; or\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some\n"++
+    "    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that\n"++
+    "    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of\n"++
+    "    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for\n"++

+> 
+> DESCRIPTION
+>    Backstop a target directory by source directories thereby
+>    creating a backing chain using relative symbolic links by default
+>    or absolute symbolic links by option.  If more than one source
+>    directory is given, backstop the target directory with each
+>    source directory in turn starting from left to right on the
+>    command line.
+> 
+>    Intuitively, backstop fills in the missing objects or holes that
+>    exist in the target directory relative to the source directories
+>    thereby creating a merged view of the target and source
+>    directories.
+> 
+>    De-backstop a target directory by its source directories.  In
+>    this case, the source directories no longer need to exist.  If
+>    more than one source directory is given, de-backstop the target
+>    directory by the source directories.
+> 
+>    Symbolic links are never followed.  However, the target and
+>    source directories are canonicalized (realpath(3)) internally by
+>    the command backstop before backstopping and de-backstoppoing.
+> 
+>    By default no output is displayed except possibly to STDERR.
+> 
+> ALGORITHM
+>    There must be at least two arguments or operands.  The first
+>    operand is the target directory, and the second operand and
+>    beyond are source directories.  The target and source directory
+>    must be parallel directories, that is, neither canonicalized
+>    (realpath(3)) directory path may be a sub-directory of the other.
+>    If the above is not true, a usage error occurs.
+> 
+>    Nevertheless, pathnames are internally in reduced form such that
+>    symbolic link names are treated literally when finding directory
+>    names.  See "cd -L" of ksh(1).  In other words, components in the
+>    pathname that are not directories but symbolic links to
+>    directories are not resolved to their corresponding directories.
+> 
+>    A list of objects or names is collected under the root of the
+>    source directory excluding the directory dot (.) and the
+>    directory double-dot (..).  If the list is empty, the algorithm
+>    is done, otherwise the objects divide into two classes, objects
+>    that are not directories and objects that are directories.  There
+>    are five possibilities:
+> 
+>    1. The object is either dot (.) or double-dot (..) whereupon no
+>       action is taken.
+> 
+>    2. If an object of the same name as the name of the object under
+>       the root of the source directory does not exists under the
+>       root of the target directory, then a symbolic link, relative
+>       or absolute as required, is created under the root of the
+>       target directory to the object under the root of the source
+>       directory.  If populating (-p) and the object under the root
+>       of the source directory is a directory, then a sub-directory
+>       is created instead.
+> 
+>    3. If an object of the same name as the name of the object under
+>       the root of the source directory does exists under the root of
+>       the target directory and is a file, no action is taken,
+>       regardless of whether or not the object under the root of the
+>       source directory is a file or a directory.
+> 
+>    4. If an object of the same name as the name of the object under
+>       the root of the source directory does exists under the root of
+>       the target directory and is a directory, and if the object of
+>       the same name under the root of the source directory is a
+>       file, no action is taken.
+> 
+>    5. If an object of the same name as the name of the object under
+>       the root of the source directory does exists under the root of
+>       the target directory and is a directory, and if the object of
+>       the same name under the root of the source directory is also a
+>       directory, then recursion occurs with the objects of the same
+>       name under the roots of the target and source directories as
+>       new root target and source directories, respectively.
+> 
+>    When de-backstopping a target directory by source directories,
+>    the sources no longer need to exist.  Symbolic links under the
+>    target are removed if and only if they point to a pahtname under
+>    one of the source directories.  This can be determined even if
+>    the source directory no longer exists because symbolic links
+>    within directory pathnames are taken literally.  See "cd -L" of
+>    ksh(1).
+> 
+>    When de-populating while de-backstopping (-pd), a directory is
+>    removed if all objects within the directory are symbolic links
+>    that have been remove while de-backstopping.  An empty directory
+>    is removed if and only if there exists a corresponding directory
+>    path under one of the source directories as under the target
+>    directory.  This can only be determined if the source directory
+>    and correponding sub-directory still exist.  If not, then no
+>    action is taken.
+> 
+> OPTIONS
+>    The following options are supported:
+> 
+>    -a Create symbolic links which are absolute paths.
+> 
+>    -d De-backstop the target directory by its source directories.
+>       The -a option has no affect on the -d option.
+> 
+>    -h Display a short command summary.
+>

+>       where each source directory could be backed by yet another
+>       directory or multiple directories thereby creating an
+>       extensible backing chain.
+> 
+>    srcdir
+>       The directory which backs a target directory.  The source
+>       directory can be backed by multiple additional directories
+>       where each additional directory could be backed by yet another
+>       directory or multiple directories thereby creating an
+>       extensible backing chain.

+    "DESCRIPTION\n"++
+    "   Backstop a target directory by source directories thereby\n"++
+    "   creating a backing chain using relative symbolic links by default\n"++
+    "   or absolute symbolic links by option.  If more than one source\n"++
+    "   directory is given, backstop the target directory with each\n"++
+    "   source directory in turn starting from left to right on the\n"++
+    "   command line.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "   Intuitively, backstop fills in the missing objects or holes that\n"++
+    "   exist in the target directory relative to the source directories\n"++
+    "   thereby creating a merged view of the target and source\n"++
+    "   directories.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "   De-backstop a target directory by its source directories.  In\n"++
+    "   this case, the source directories no longer need to exist.  If\n"++
+    "   more than one source directory is given, de-backstop the target\n"++
+    "   directory by the source directories.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "   Symbolic links are never followed.  However, the target and\n"++
+    "   source directories are canonicalized (realpath(3)) internally by\n"++
+    "   the command backstop before backstopping and de-backstoppoing.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "   By default no output is displayed except possibly to STDERR.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "ALGORITHM\n"++
+    "   There must be at least two arguments or operands.  The first\n"++
+    "   operand is the target directory, and the second operand and\n"++
+    "   beyond are source directories.  The target and source directory\n"++
+    "   must be parallel directories, that is, neither canonicalized\n"++
+    "   (realpath(3)) directory path may be a sub-directory of the other.\n"++
+    "   If the above is not true, a usage error occurs.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "   Nevertheless, pathnames are internally in reduced form such that\n"++
+    "   symbolic link names are treated literally when finding directory\n"++
+    "   names.  See \"cd -L\" of ksh(1).  In other words, components in the\n"++
+    "   pathname that are not directories but symbolic links to\n"++
+    "   directories are not resolved to their corresponding directories.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "   A list of objects or names is collected under the root of the\n"++
+    "   source directory excluding the directory dot (.) and the\n"++
+    "   directory double-dot (..).  If the list is empty, the algorithm\n"++
+    "   is done, otherwise the objects divide into two classes, objects\n"++
+    "   that are not directories and objects that are directories.  There\n"++
+    "   are five possibilities:\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "   1. The object is either dot (.) or double-dot (..) whereupon no\n"++
+    "      action is taken.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "   2. If an object of the same name as the name of the object under\n"++
+    "      the root of the source directory does not exists under the\n"++
+    "      root of the target directory, then a symbolic link, relative\n"++
+    "      or absolute as required, is created under the root of the\n"++
+    "      target directory to the object under the root of the source\n"++
+    "      directory.  If populating (-p) and the object under the root\n"++
+    "      of the source directory is a directory, then a sub-directory\n"++
+    "      is created instead.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "   3. If an object of the same name as the name of the object under\n"++
+    "      the root of the source directory does exists under the root of\n"++
+    "      the target directory and is a file, no action is taken,\n"++
+    "      regardless of whether or not the object under the root of the\n"++
+    "      source directory is a file or a directory.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "   4. If an object of the same name as the name of the object under\n"++
+    "      the root of the source directory does exists under the root of\n"++
+    "      the target directory and is a directory, and if the object of\n"++
+    "      the same name under the root of the source directory is a\n"++
+    "      file, no action is taken.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "   5. If an object of the same name as the name of the object under\n"++
+    "      the root of the source directory does exists under the root of\n"++
+    "      the target directory and is a directory, and if the object of\n"++
+    "      the same name under the root of the source directory is also a\n"++
+    "      directory, then recursion occurs with the objects of the same\n"++

+    "      new root target and source directories, respectively.\n"++
+    "\n"++
+    "   When de-backstopping a target directory by source directories,\n"++
+    "   the sources no longer need to exist.  Symbolic links under the\n"++
+    "   target are removed if and only if they point to a pahtname under\n"++
