That's awesome, Alex!  Thanks for the help. :)

Would you be interested in writing a Gentoo Install entry on the Wiki  
that lets people know how to download and use the overlay?

I'll attach your overlay to it, and restrict who can upload new  
versions.

You might want to go to http://wiki.opscode.com/display/opscode/Contributing 
 and fill out a CLA - that will let you send us patches directly to  
any Opscode open source project, in case you run in to any issues.

Thanks again,
Adam
