Thanks for doing this, and for the E-mail update.  I've been noticing
the changes in migration-overlay this weekend. :-)

FYI:  For some reason (at least in my mail client) some extra chars
(like this: "> ") appear at the beginning of a few lines in your list
(below).  Folks should be aware that certain packages won't be visible
unless they remove these extra characters from the front of the
applicable lines.

The corrected list should appear something like this:

Another note:  You list sun-jdk-1.5.0.07 and my system does have it
installed (it appeared in migration-overlay a week or two ago).
However, the ebuild appears to have been deleted from the overlay and it
is NOT anywhere in the main Portage tree.  Unless you still need to add
it something must have gone wrong.  Just FYI...

Sounds good to me.  They seem to be working well so my vote is "the
sooner the better".

Thanks again for all of the hard work!
