This is probably not the answer you are looking for, but here goes:
Once you have the likelihood you can easily program it yourself using
-ml-. You will want to have a copy of "Maximum Likelihood Estimation
with Stata" http://www.stata-press.com/books/ml.html . This book
actually discusses programming a weibull, so that will probably provide
a convenient starting point for your program.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
