[pca] Download explicitly needed patches and their dependencies.

[James Chavez]

Fred,
Thank you for the response.
I do not see the -I option in the usage.html page, what does -I do? On
my test box last night I used "pca --askauth -d patch patch patch".
This looks like it downloaded just the 3 patches I specified on the
command line. However the size was too big to actually be only the
patches I specified. How do I know all what was downloaded?
So PCA will grab all dependencies of a patch then?

Thank you
James
