Have you taken a look at what is in here to see what is missing. I guess
what I am looking for is to see them do the same thing. But the problem
if it is contained in the base is if something else changes with any of
the whois databases you know have to manually make it. Where as with the
port you do a make && make deinstall && make reinstalll and now have the
updated functionality.

Just thinking out loud
