I can't remember the last time I used overlays (certainly with CP/M);
I didn't know that FreeBSD even supported them (why bother when
you've got VM?).
I doubt that meaning of overlay is going to be relevant. I'd not heard
of it either, but from looking in ports/Mk/ it seems to be a way of
modifying port builds.
As I understand it. It allows you to graft out-of-tree ports/versions
onto the ports-tree-proper.
