[pca] Hurray to PCA and We Sun Solve! They have spared me numerous hours of tedious work

[Fay, Sean]

Correct, the list of patches I get is from the tool that does our system auditing (checks for old patches, checks for open ports, etc). I simply wrote down each patch it is checking for and finding lacking, and putting that into a text file. Which I searched, added one at a time on the wesunsolve site. Now I can simply ctrl-a, and copy - paste into the entry box thanks to Thomas. 

Cheers!

Sean

Thanks to Sean for providing feedback!

For now I think it would be better to implement this in a wrapper to PCA or in a separate client. As far as I understand it, only output from PCA which is already provided would be required for your proposal.

Maybe Sean would be happy if there simply was a file upload option for the patch list on wesunsolve anyway? I think the list of patches he has isn't from PCA, but from some external source.
