Put the ebuild in there. I'll need to read up on how. The section on overlays left me with the impression that overlays were for experimental code, not for keeping private copies of packages. Anyway, I think I'll remove it from the world file, and mask it out, and lo= ok into the overlay. At least it will be ignored when I emerge world. I found that the > in the package.mask wasn't always enough though, as if I used the --update argument to emerge and my version wasn't in the portage t= ree anymore, emerge would get silly and offer to downgrade.
