Probably because I wrote the INSTALL and README files first, and the
HTML/PDF/... files much later when I was much better with PHP. So I've
expected more knowledge of PHP --- people have to start somewhere with
PHP, but I've never meant them to start with PhpWeather.

The problem is, that you have to define exactly what it is you mean by
'include it into your webpage'? This means something different for
every webpage.

But you've got a point: we could make a wrapper function that would
make the report, the icons and the dropdown boxes. There's no need to
make things harder than necessary? :-)
