https://dev.gentoo.org/~ulm/pms/head/pms.html#x1-350004.4, "All contents of
this directory, with the exception of repo_name, are optional".
And with regards to metadata directory, from
https://dev.gentoo.org/~ulm/pms/head/pms.html#x1-420004.7, "All contents
are optional".  I would assume layout.conf is Gentoo Portage specific
instead of PMS specific.
