The Cygwin whois may well be the latest GNU version of whois but there
is at least one IP range about which it doesn't know. IMHO, the data
should be in a separate text (user editable) file from the program. Of
course, this isn't all THAT important with open source.

C:\cygwin\bin>whois 116.199.133.6
Unknown AS number or IP network. Please upgrade this program.

(It should go to whois.apnic.net and hence to Shenzhen Newspeed
Science and technology Development Limited company.
