nvidia-drivers-295.17.ebuild

I copied the nvidia-drivers-290.10.ebuild to my local overlay and renamed it.
Had to modify the SRC url to ftp://download.nvidia.com/....

Then ran
ebuild
/usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/nvidia-drivers-295.17.ebuild
digest

Installs fine with kernel 3.1.9 and 3.2.2

To compile against git-sources-3.3_rc2 (*** Unable to determine the
target kernel version. ***) use that command:

cd /lib/modules/<kernel name>/source/arch/x86/include ; sudo cp generated/asm/*.h ./asm"

Have a nice day!
