<h2>Abstract</h2>

<p>
GNU shtool 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 other free software packages.
There it can overtake various (usually non-portable) tasks related to the
building and installation of such a package. It especially can replace the old
<code>mkdir.sh</code>, <code>install.sh</code> and related scripts.
