I've been able to collect the list of flags required to satisfy the 
dependency and apply them, but I'm having difficulty with ensuring that they 
do not override the user's settings.

eg. need +foo to satisfy the dependency, but do not do it it USE="-foo".

As suggested by yourself, portage.settings.configdict["conf"]["USE"] indeed 
does contain explicit enable/disable information from make.conf, however the 
other keys, such as those representing the env or package.use do not.

How can I get this information?
