Overlays were to go in PORTDIR_OVERLAY, that is still a valid option.
It does not have as many repository control options, but the code is
still present in portage. Layman's code has changed it's default to
generate a repos.conf file. But there has been no talk amongst
ourselves about fully deprecating the PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable yet.
