Hello everyone,

In preparation for the next layman release, the overlay at g.o.g.o has
been updated with my latest commits. Along with that includes an updated
9999 ebuild to reflect those new features.

Just some of the features include:
   * The ability to disable/enable an overlay, making the ebuilds in the
overlay
      unnoticeable to portage.
   * Modular overlay types: when compiling layman you will no longer have to
      bring in code for overlay support that you didn't enable
explicitly via your
      USE flags.
   * Squashfs overlay support: layman can now mount squashfs images onto
     you local FS read-only.
   * layman-mounter utility script to handle mounting/unmounting any
mountable
     overlay types.
   * layman-overlay-maker utility script to assist users in creating
overlay definitions.

and more! Check the man page for all new changes.

It is my hope that you guys will be willing to test out the live ebuild
for us to help us get feedback to shake out as many bugs as possible
before our next release.

With regards,
    Devan Franchini (twitch153)
