[Dxspider-support] tiny QRZ replacement

[Ricardo Suarez]

Hi all

Today I write a tiny (brute force) replacement  for the QRZ.com access, 
using the http response of the QRZ page.

Need for WWW::Mechanize, but seems to work, now is  under test on 
lu9da.dyndns.org port 9000 (LU9DA-6 Cluster).

Regards

Rick LU9DA
