Patches get applied almot as if they are packages.  You will find a complete
list of the patches in /var/sadm/patch and if you look there with "ls -ltr"
then you will get a cronological order.  If you just ls in the ordinary way
then you get the list of all patches as well as the previous revs of the
patches applied.

Now I do know that Sun recently bought a company that was patch maintainance
focused and things may change.  I have not seen any signs of change in the
OpenSolaris project nor in the recent Solaris Express releases.
