8 Hmm .. is NetThrottle a corepart of this package?
9 USE-variables should only be used to decide wether to build optional
10 support for something. If coreparts requires something it can be thought
11 of that the entire package does.
12
13 If this however decides whether a GUI for NetThrottle will be built
14 (otherwise just available through console-interface) USE=gtk should be
15 used.

22 otherwise it just builds pygtk.
