      Version 2.0.8 (18-Jul-2008)

      The GNU shtool program is a compilation of small but very stable and
      portable shell scripts into a single shell tool. All ingredients
      were in successful use over many years in various free software
      projects. The compiled shtool program is intended to be used inside
      the source tree of free software packages. There it can take over
      various (usually non-portable) tasks related to the building and
      installation of such packages.

      It currently contains the following tools:

      echo       Print string with optional construct expansion
      mdate      Pretty-print modification time of a file or dir
      table      Pretty print a field-separated list as a table
      prop       Display progress with a running propeller
      move       Move files with simultan substitution
      install    Install a program, script or datafile
      mkdir      Make one or more directories
      mkln       Make link with calculation of relative paths
      mkshadow   Make a shadow tree
      fixperm    Fix file permissions inside a source tree
      rotate     Rotate logfiles
      tarball    Roll distribution tarballs
