nah! error checking is for wimps...

more seriously the issue that I have is that opatch is for one-offs. Some
one offs require other setup steps than just opatch - and might require for
example earlier one-offs to be rolled back first. The whole idea of
performing multiple one-off patches to a db install just seems wrong to me.
If you've waited long enough for there to be multiple one offs can't you
wait long enough for the patchset?
