I got a couple of notes last week from Chris and Jonathan Kamens suggesting bw-whois as the package of choice, but no pro or con list. I basically assumed that a compiled version would be more generally preferred, since it would be easier to use in stripped down installations of cygwin (not having any perl baggage). Does anyone know if there's any particular cool feature that bw-whois supports that the GNU whois package at http://www.gnu.org/gnulist/production/whois.html does not? I don't really see any significant difference, but if I'm gonna maintain a package I'd sorta like to maintain the right thing.
