[pca] Patch pre-requisites

[little help]

Actually I did a little more digging on this and the "-l" optin does not
seem to show the dependencies.  For example I ran the command against a
kernel patch

Below is the command and the results.  According to this no dependence.
pca -l 127721-03

Patch  IR   CR RSB Age Synopsis
------ -- - -- --- ---
-------------------------------------------------------
127721 -- < 06 RS-  63 SunOS 5.8: kernel patch

I then untarred the actual patch and looked at the patchinfo file.  You can
see the patch requires three other patches.  So now I guess I am back to the
beginning.  Any ideas how to get details on the dependencies for a patch?
Thanks.
