Engineer who is installing the patches, as he/she will get confused as the
patch bundle was generated and why PCA is attempting a download when we are
trying to install the patches.

Of course since I have used PCA for couple years now, I have gotten used to
seeing "Downloading, skipping, patch present" messages. But for new comers,
I will have to explain and document what those mean.

I was hoping that there would be a switch within PCA to not show that.

If this feature has to be added, then I leave that decision to you and the
community. I would like that feature, but not sure how many other may like
or dislike it.

Thanks Martin.
