Mike is usually pretty quick with these things. This time he's taking his 
time, which means:

he's busy, or
it's tricky, or
both, or
he's fed up with it (this is unlikely)

So, you now get to do it yourself. Copy Mike's overlay files to your personal 
overlay area, open the relevant ebuilds for low-level libs, and add eina to 
the DEPEND clauses. Rebuild. Make sure your overlay takes precedence over all 
others.

Nope, the manual is the code. It's largely self-documenting and the only 
tricky bit is the enlightenment eclass, which covers svn, snapshots and 
releases for both cvs and svn. The ebuilds themselves are simplicity in the 
extreme where you just specify the svn module and the eclass does all the 
heavy lifting.
