Well, there's the problem.  There's no files directory there.  I ran the
ebuild command when I added it to the overlay, I don't think it
downloaded anything.  I just copied the ebuild file from the Gentoo
tree.  If I ever need to emerge from the overlay, I hope it works now. 

Did something change with overlays?  In the past, I copied the ebuild
over to local overlay and ran the ebuild command for the manifest.  It
downloaded everything that was needed.  Now, it seems it doesn't.  They
add a step?  I miss a step that slipped my mind?
