Hi all,

I believe many developers like to create and scan ebuilds that live in their 
overlays before moving into their CVS checkout and committing. Up until 
portage-2.0.51-r15 this was possible, but there was also a problem that 
overlays were used when checking for issues within the CVS checkout. Due to 
this, overlays were completely disabled in -r15.

The patch[1] should allow for both. There was a bit of chopping and changing 
of sections of code though, so please confirm that I haven't forgotten about 
a used variable somewhere that results in some traceback.

The logic essentially goes:
1. Are we in an overlay?
2. If yes, then record the overlay.
3. Otherwise, are we in PORTDIR?
4. If yes, then record it.
5. Otherwise, can a profiles/ dir be found?
6. If yes, then record it.
7. Otherwise, fail.
8. Does our recorded dir have a profiles/ dir?
9. If yes, then set PORTDIR to it and unset PORTDIR_OVERLAY
10. Otherwise, set PORTDIR_OVERLAY to it and keep PORTDIR

Let me know if you find any issues.

Regards,
Jason Stubbs
