jwhois 2001:4978:f:431::2 should ideally return data from whois
2001:4978:f:431::2@whois.sixxs.net

It returns NET6-2001-4978-1 and NET6-2001-4978-F-1.

jwhois NET6-2001-4978-F-1 looks in Internic. It should look in ARIN
for NET6. This helps:

Now at least I get SixXS's ARIN record, if not the final details from
sixxs whois

Patch works for me and returns the final details from the SixXS WHOIS server, added via pull request #17.
