Should've been more verbose.  It's the patch for bootstrap that passes 
catalyst's options to EMERGE (passing EMERGE_OPTS to bootstrap.sh).  The 
primary issue is so options like pkgcache have an effect in the middle 
of building a stage2, cause bumping into an error in the middle of a 
stage2 and restarting on slow machines is not fun :)

I attached the patch, but drobbins mentioned there was some possible 
theoretical issue where it would conflict with the fetch option to 
bootstrap, but I've looked at it and I don't necessarily see what the 
possible problem could be.  Maybe someone has an idea.
