I've added your ebuilds to the overlay for both the SVN and 0.10 release 
versions.  Thanks!

This makes sense to me.  Can someone more familiar with usb-rndis-ng comment 
on whether usb-rndis-ng has any use without HAL?  If there is indeed no use 
without HAL, then I think we should go a step further than Dmitry's 
suggestion and just require HAL in the ./configure script (and raise an error 
if it isn't found).

I have everything building from SVN for ease of maintenance.  Keeping them all 
as similar as possible (all that needs to change typically is the repository 
URI) makes them just a little bit easier to keep track of.

The only problem that I've come across with building everything out of SVN is 
the one mentioned in the Wiki page for the ebuilds.  This only occurs when 
you switch between emerging the 0.10.0 release and the SVN trunk versions.  
Unfortunately, this problem will also surface when we make another release 
and people emerge the new ebuilds.  If there is a simple change in the 
ebuilds to get around this problem while still building out of SVN, I'd like 
that (Dmitry -- do you know of a way?).  If not, then perhaps building from 
the Sourceforge tarballs is best.
