It's probably just as easy to include it in the phpweather.inc for
1.x, and in the phpweather class for phpweather 2 - it's not really
any conceptually different from the sections of code that actually do
the decoding.

The question is, what do we do if it doesn't check out? Like in the
example from EGBE, most of that metar was okay, but the wind was
wrong. Do we want to err on the safe side, and discard the whole lot?
