whois --version doesn't work

Reported by: vinc17@… Owned by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.8.1
Keywords: getopt Cc:
Port: whois

Description

With whois 4.7.37, I get: 

$ whois --version
whois: illegal option -- -
Usage: whois [OPTION]... OBJECT...
[...]
      --verbose        explain what is being done
      --help           display this help and exit
      --version        output version information and exit

This bug is specific to Mac OS X (no such problem under Linux with the same version). The attached patch (whose goal is to use getopt) solves the problem on my machine.

Actually it seems that the dependency on getopt is unnecessary (the getopt port just provides a binary, not a library).
