I've a query regarding the use of --oneshot in the bootstrap  
process.  This results in a some merged ebuilds that don't appear in  
the world file ... should this be the case??

As it stands, "emerge --update world" will then miss updates on  
packages that were used in the bootstrap process.

For example, I built my prefix based upon instructions here

	http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-macos.xml

Now if I say

	$ emerge --pretend --update world | grep python
	-> NO OUTPUT

But there are updates available!

	$ emerge --pretend --update python | grep python
	[ebuild     U ] app-admin/python-updater-0.5 [0.4]
	[ebuild     U ] dev-lang/python-2.5.2-r5 [2.5.2-r4]

More generally, if I compare the outputs when I pass -e or not
	emerge --pretend -e world | grep ebuild | cut -c 17- | sort
	emerge --pretend world | grep ebuild | cut -c 17- | sort

then it seems there are 25 merged ebuilds that aren't in the world file.

des.
