- Remove -d option, whois.nic.mil doesn't exist anymore.

- Make whois capable of searching for IPv6 addresses just like it can
  do for IPv4 addresses without having to explicetly specify that the
  ARIN server should be used to get the initial information.

eade81c941 o Move APNIC flag from -p to -A. Since, -p is usually associated
with specifying a port.
o Add the -p flag for specifying a port.  (PR: 28790)  This is
  useful for querying rwhois servers.  Example:
    whois -h rwhois.exodus.net -p rwhois 216.136.180.0
o Add the -c flag which allows one to get the same whois server
  that would normally be determined if no arguments were specified.
  (Concept based on work by phantom, requested by ache)  Example:
    whois -c ru TCNET-MNT-RIPN
o Deprecate -R flag in favour of -c ru.

861c52f1c4 Direct queries for IP numbers to ARIN. It would be nice if we could
send them to APNIC/RIPE intelligently, but we can't at this time so
fallback to ARIN and depend on them telling the user where to look.

Maybe we need a .whoisrc file...
