Remove stable ebuild now that the official package has caught up #30

Now that the official portage tree contains the 14.1 ebuild, people are able to use that as a source for stable builds and this overlay can return to supporting just the 9999 ebuild.

Would IMHO make no sense. The two 14.1 ebuilds are fundamental different. The official Gentoo version is using an external ffmpeg. From Kodi official faq: XBMC builds that use external ffmpeg/libav are not supported and are strongly discouraged

This overlay does use the kodi included ffmpeg version. As much as it is a matter of security it is also a personal choice and this is where this overlay can be used.

Another option would be to use an USE flag e.g. bundled-libs, ffmpeg-bundled, or something similar. There are other ebuilds that are using this:

grep bundled /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc
