Overlay(s) are great feature of Poudriere on FreeBSD.
Recently @oshogbovx proposed patches to add Overlay(s) to 'poudriere jail' command - which is needed and useful.
But its 'silence' since initial...
@nprofile1q...
Me, too, think adding overlays configs into `poudriere jail` is straightforward.
Needed time to find that `poudriere ports` to create optional ports tree for overlays and specify them (as needed) on `poudriere bulk` with options.
And I think overlay itself is currently poorly documented.
More, using overlays both on poudriere and bare-metal requires special care.
I've documented it here. (Not official, though.)

Was hard to determine the conditional that works reliably.
Maybe allow specifying overlays via /etc/make.conf would be straightforward, too.
