Verborum Caterva is a simple engine for arbitrary file structure
generation. File hierarchy to be built is represented as another file
hierarchy called a "template structure" or just as "template" for
short.

Each file to be built is represented in a template as a directory with
a number of files and no subdirectories. The files a called "portions"
are processed in alphabetical order for target file to be built.

Each portion is either a plain file in wich case its contents are
simply appended to the target file, or it may be an executable
program. In a latter case the program is executed and its output is
appended to the target file.

A directory in a template which contains only other directories is not
a file template howewer. Directories of that kind are just recreated
in a target hierarchy. Program behavior on a mixed case template
directory (i.e., containing files and directories) is undefined.

CAUTION! This program might create a much huge lot of useless files
for you if it would be run in wrong place on FS! It doesn't recognize
with directory is a template and which is not and would process
everything!
