My operating system is based on free software. I am not using
distributions, rather compiling myself.

What I did, I came to this page: http://www.gnu.org/software/jwhois and
I download and try it out.

I did not see any development version there. Ok, now I could find it on
Savannah.

But tarball shall be there, functional.
