local:utils:dev-libs/libnl: Install command line interface utils

It would be really nice if this could be extended to state what tools are installed, i.e. letting the user choose without having to conduct additional research.

It might be also useful to use USE=tools instead for consistency.

Looks good to me:

        $(multilib_native_use_enable utils cli)

A USE flag that describes all 46 of them?

Consistency with what? It's not like anyone in their right mind would enable either USE=tools or USE=utils globally.

Oh I forgot to leave this here:

  --enable-cli=yes|no|no-inst|bin|sbin
                          Whether to build command line interface utils.
