Just a thought, but would it be possible to signify what type of patch
in a one character addition.  That is add one letter, be it S, R or N to
signify whether the patch just installed or that just failed to install
is Security, Recommended, or Neither.  If both Security and Recommended,
then Security would be set with S.

I'm just thinking that this is useful when looking at output to know
right off whether what I just saw fail or succeed was a security or
recommended patch.  It is really an importance rating to know how much I
care.  If N--not much, I can deal with it later or even wait until next
time pca is executed; but really knowing if a Security patch succeeded
or failed would help a lot.

Just a thought.
