Skip registrar query option

[MichaelM00]

Thank you for your program.

Is it possible to add a flag to not query the registrar when doing a lookup?

I created a small patch for myself to disable recursive lookups

Just apply the following patch to whois.c
It adds an additional option "-n" which disables the recursive lookup.

IMHO, this would be a quite useful option to be added.
@rfc1036 maybe this could be added to the main repo
whois.c.patch.norecursive.txt

I have implemented a similar --no-recursion option in 5.5.11.
