Hi Neil - could you explain why? - from man emerge:
--oneshot (-1)
              Emerge as normal, but do not add the packages to the world
file for later updating.

This would imply that if you use oneshot, the system wont know about the
package and wont update it - not what you would normally want with any
package except under special circumstances.  In fact, unless you have a
package you dont want updated, *EVERY* package on the system *SHOULD* be
in world?
