[pca] Install 3 patches and their dependencies using PCA

[James Chavez]

GGR,
Thank you for the response.
I am not understanding how this works, if the dependency patches are
downloaded, I do not see them. It downloads the patchnumber.zip. I unzip
that to reveal the patch directory and inside there is the patch read me
and what looks like a bunch of packages. Not sure where the dependencies
are handled.

Thank you
James
