I'm not sure that efl overlay is still required to run E17.  I just today 
moved from efl to the enlightenment overlay (Vapier's).  I had to keyword all 
necessary E17 packages as -9999 ** to be able to install stuff, or the E16 
packages were being drawn in.  The enlightenment overlay seems to be a couple 
of months behind efl judging by the bugs that I thought were already resolved.

Some packages (e.g. epdf) will not build because dependencies are missing and 
what not, but the following packages were able to emerge without problems and 
give (me) a functioning desktop:

===============================
emerge -aDv dev-libs/ecore dev-libs/e_dbus dev-libs/eet dev-libs/eina dev-
libs/embryo dev-libs/efreet media-libs/edje media-libs/ethumb media-libs/evas 
x11-wm/enlightenment media-libs/emotion dev-libs/eeze

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

===============================

HTH the OP.

PS.  Alan, are you saying that all the new beta packages are for e16 only?
