Along this way, another level of indirection would be beneficial:
  - for various reasons, TortoiseOverlays could provide only a limited
number
of overlays (could be only 5 or 6)
  - each app using TortoiseOverlays could map their internal states
to a specific overlay from the provided ones

On my PC I could disable the ignored overlay, and for TortoiseSVN I
could map:
  - conflict and modified states to the modified overlay
  - unversioned and ignored states to the unversioned ovelay
  - locked state to the locked overlay

and for TortoiseHg I could map:
  - modified state to the modified overlay
  - ignored state to the unversioned overlay
  - unversioned state to the locked overlay

On my laptop, using only TortoiseHG, I could disable the locked and
readonly overlays
and use instead the ignored overlay by mapping:
  - modified and conflict states to the modified overlay
  - ignored state to the ignored overlay
  - unversioned state to the unversioned overlay

In both cases, I'm using only the limited number of entries provided
by TortoiseOverlays.

If nobody else has the required time, I could try and make a GUI for
this,
maybe in Turbo Delphi to minimize the runtime dependencies.

Have a nice day,
  Eduard
