Description
Hi, all! I really enjoy working with Shiv, and have most recently used it to bundle some internal developer tooling for my team. After an update, there's a several-second delay while it unpacks the updated environment (that's just part of life), and I'd like to show a message to the console on first run that is essentially just "Setting up environment..." that disappears when the bootstrap section is done.
Is this possible? If so, can you point me in the right direction as to how I might be able to implement this into my project?
Cheers!

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by locating Shiv's environment bootstrap path and its console output handling. Done means establishing whether a first-run message can appear during bootstrapping and disappear when that phase completes, then documenting the supported approach or the required feature.
