This particular package seems to have almost no configure options (I already 
checked that). I was asking merely because I wanted to know whether the user 
should get the chance to say "yes, I have gtk installed but I don't want 
those tools anyway" ...

Using auto-configuration, the USE option would have no influence on building 
the tools or not, but only on pulling in gtk as a dependency (as far as I 
understand).

This is probably more a question of policy. (Although I'm not sure if the 
method I mentioned might have the potential to even break things ... ?)
