FW: whois package

[Mark Bradshaw <bradshaw at staff dot crosswalk dot com>]

Robert, I think I'm all ready.  I've made the changes you and Gerrit
suggested.  Small correction to the Makefile in the source to correct the
prefix.  Slightly expanded readme to explain the patch and how to apply it.
Patch and readme moved to a CYGWIN-PATCHES directory.  <whew>

I'm ready when you are.
