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.
