To be honest I'd rather not be this heavy-handed. I'd like to see what patches 
might have fallen through the cracks; but that shouldn't mean that we have to 
go through and mark them by hand. If you want me to look at writing a script 
to do this I can, but I'd probably need a copy of the database to work with.
