RE: whois package


No reliance on perl.  Easier to use on stripped down cygwin installations.
I'd think that would be a benefit in the long run.  I like perl, but I'd
think the compiled version would be preferred.

I also thought the mkpasswd inclusion was odd.  I just ripped it out of the
source and said bye-bye.
