[erlang-questions] what is overlay?

[Jesper Louis Andersen]

Overlays allow you to do work on the release after it has been created:

* create directories
* copy files into the release
* instantiate templates with parameters (M4 macros, reinvented)

It is usually used to make a software package complete with configuration
files, directories, ... and so on.
