Port notes

All clients are now installed with the "g" prefix. This means that you'll now, for example, find GNU telnet at ${prefix}/bin/gtelnet. If you dislike typing gtelnet, you can create a shell alias or you can add ${prefix}/libexec/gnubin to your PATH, wherein non-g* prefixed symlinks are installed. In other words, ${prefix}/libexec/gnubin contains GNU binaries without any prefix to the file names, so you can type telnet and get GNU telnet just as before. The (g)whois client has been removed as it duplicates the separate whois port
