How about changing the bootstrap script to allow users to view what's going to
happened and to modify USE according to it?
I made modifications to bootstrap-2.6.sh to allow this and hope it'll be useful:
---------------------------------
bash-2.05b# diff bootstrap-2.6.sh bootstrap-2.6-new.sh 
22a23,27
> elif [ "$1" = "-pv" ]
> then
>         echo "Running in pretend-only mode..."
>         STRAP_EMERGE_OPTS="-pv"
>         unset STRAP_RUN

<       echo "--fetchonly or -f to download source archives only. -h/--help displays this"
<       echo "help."
---
>       echo "--fetchonly or -f to download source archives only, -h/--help displays this"
>       echo "help or -pv to see what packages will be installed."
----------------------------
