I'm not sure automating emerge -u world is good idea. I have a cron task
that does
emerge --sync
emerge -upvDN world | mail
emerge -ufDN world
Then I read the mail and decide on the updates before anything is merged.

PORTAGE_ELOG will do this for you.

It won't do this, but "find $(portageq config_protect) -name '._cfg*'"
will. Or you could put it in a script with
if [ "$(find $(portageq config_protect) -name '._cfg*' | wc -l)" != "0" ]
then
echo "Run dispatch-conf"
