Ebuild depending on wireless-tools

x11-plugins/vicious provides a wifi widget which uses iwconfig to get its data. Without iwconfig it returns 0 instead of erring.

In the source can be seen iwconfig is used: http://git.sysphere.org/vicious/tree/widgets/wifi.lua


Instead of always depending on wireless-tools, the ebuild could implement the useflag "wifi" which, when disabled, would remove "wifi.lua" and not depend on wireless-tools.
