The world-file contains the names of the packages you have installed using
"emerge <package>". It only contains those packages, not the dependencies.
If you would reinstall Gentoo, you should be able to get your system in exact
the same state by just emerging all mentioned packages.
If you think that the world-file is corrupt, you can run
/usr/lib/portage/bin/regenworld.
