[arm-allstar] New Wx, minor enhancement

[Chris Zenchenko]

Nice.
I think that if you have a station feeding them you have a free account so
it shouldn't have a problem with access.
I have broadcasting software that pulls weather from them several times an
hour and it has worked for several years.
I also think that if you had a weather station that included sky conditions
they would be part of the return.
So if you point the call to a local airport or something you might get back
more info.

Chris,

 I made the necessary changes in the weather.sh script to use wunderground.

It looks like this -

[root at WA3DSP-42291-UHF ~]# ./weather.sh 18954
52 / Cloudy
[root at WA3DSP-42291-UHF ~]# ./weather.sh w-KPARICHB3
51

To use wunderground you preface the wunderground station code with w-
wunderground does not give conditions so only temperature when using it.

saytime would use the same protocol -

saytime.pl w-KPARICHB3 42291

saytime.pl phl | 19001 | w-KPARICHB3

Of course use codes for your area or station.

This should be in the next update out soon.

I did not register but this does use the API so I am not sure if it will
continue to work without registering or maybe there is no need to register.
