[pca] Non-existing patch - patchdiag wishlist

Your list is pretty complete, as far as I'm concerned (no wonder, we've talked 
about that before :) ). But the question remains:

Would Oracle mind, if we use data from patchdiag.xref and the XML-files to 
create a combined, extended patchdiag.xref file, and if we re-distribute this file?

Of course we'd prefer if Oracle would add the information from you list to 
patchdiag.xref itself, but how big is the chance that this is gonna happen? 
Especially with the advent of Solaris 11 and IPS, which won't make use of the 
existing patching infrastructure, do you have any hope this being realized?

Martin.
