I've updated the package to include support for Fedora Core. You can 
specify the release like so:

$ whichcd -v FC1 fedora
Searching in the FC1 database.
Searching for fedora...

CD-1:fedora-logos-1.1.20-1.noarch.rpm
CD-1:fedora-release-1-3.i386.rpm
[snip]

On a box running Fedora Core,  "whichcd [package_name]" should default to 
searching the Fedora Core 1 database.
