local:tools:sys-apps/openrc: build optional tools

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.

The only thing this use flag does is install the "deptree2dot" perl
script and add an rdepend on perl.

I am considering installing the support folder under
/usr/share/openrc in the next release, putting this script there and
just documenting that it needs perl.
This would eliminate the use flag completely.
What do you think?

LGTM

This is the first phase of this change. The deptree2dot script is now in
the support directory.

This installs the support directory as part of the distribution.
