[pca] --stop option not stopping?

"stop" and some other options like "ignore", "minage", etc. only work 
when a patch group like "missing" or "installed" is used. When 
specifying explicit patch IDs, like in your example, these options 
aren't honored. The idea is that pca assumes that you really want to 
list/download/install patch X if you're specifying it by it's idea, no 
matter whether stop/ignore/etc. are set up somewhere.

It's not the first time this issue is mentioned, and I'm not 100% 
convinced myself that the current behaviour is optimal, but the same 
applies to the behaviour that you expected. Is there a good reason to 
run "pca --stop X --install X"? With tight manual control over the patch 
list, you probably don't need stop/ignore/etc.

Martin.
