o Make -q option the default

o When invoked with no arguments and the record contains 'Whois Server: foo'
  also do the lookup using foo as the whois server.
o If an entry BAR is not found (No match for "BAR"), fall back on
  whois.internic.net.  This makes internic handle lookups work again.
o Fix lookup of multiple entries
o Add -Q (quick) option to turn off double lookup
Note:
Double lookups will not work properly until {com,net,org}.whois-servers.net
has been changed to point to whois.crsnic.net (in progress).
Man page still needs a bit of work.
