Great post, but one minor correction. The -R option to stow is not recursive, but restow. From the manpage:
-R
--restow
Restow packages (first unstow, then stow again). This is useful for pruning obsolete symlinks from the target tree after updating the software in a package.
I am a product engineer and have helped build software from small startups, to manipulating hundreds of millions of data points. I write API's and make tools that make developers lives easier.

Ooh thanks. Fixed.
