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.
