Import of the CMU depot 5.14 utility, for managing directory
trees of symbolic links, to the NetBSD packages collection. This package was done by Todd Vierling, in PR pkg/4975. Minor modification to the patch by me to generalise for other BSD systems.

+Depot manages packages similar to pkg_* and RPM, but does so by mapping
+several installation trees into a common base (such as /usr/local) using
+symbolic links. GNU's `stow' was inspired by Depot, though both have
+features that the other does not.
