Kolab on Gentoo: Overlay restructured

Kolab is finally approaching version 2.1. I guess it is about time, since it is nearly one and a half year after the release date that had been targeted initially. In preparation for the next Kolab version the Gentoo overlay got updated and was restructured to support a clearer separation of different development states.

Now there is a "stable", an "unstable" and a "development" version available. Stable and unstable versions are marked as such using the standard keyword notation and developmental packages will be masked. The procedure for selecting these different branches has been described in the Kolab wiki.

p@rdus will now run corresponding machines that will always get monitored for potential conflicts between the overlay and the main portage tree. Thus you should able to select the stability you expect from your Kolab server installation.

Right now all branches are still rather experimental but this should change once 2.1 has been release upstream and the corresponding overlay packages should get masked "stable" about a month later.
