It would be great to have something in the gentoo wiki about this sort of 
9999.ebuild stuff, particularly if it is kept current and edgy.... Linking
in to the latest (experimental) repoman would also help. Maybe much of this
is in github combined with a few examples ?

I'd like to see an example doc on EAPI=6 .9999 builds and such. Dev oriented
documents are great but it also helps to have "cookbooks".  If something
like this exists, even in blog posts or forum links, I'd be grateful for
that info.
