Nothing per se, it's just that sometimes I am patching the
system in single-user mode remotely through a serial
connection and it would be nice to see a progress
indicator in that window.

Yes, but neither output shows how *far* into the patch
sequence you are. Currently I compare the output with the
patch_order file, but adding a count-o-meter to
install_cluster is trivial and would make it obvious how
many patches remain.

I must say that I like the idea, it gives you a good overview how far
the patching is.
When you need to install patches on mutiple sun's this would be very
handy!
