I've done this manually in the past. Edit /var/lib/world and remove
everything you think shouldn't be in there. Be brutal, if you never run
the program directly, you probably don't want it in world.

Then run "emerge --depclean --pretend". If this lists any packages you
know you want (directly, not as dependencies) add them to world with
"emerge -n package".

Rinse and repeat.

Finally, when everything listed by "emerge --depclean" is not something
you want to keep, run it without --pretend.
