 Mythweather is as of today to US-centric to be used successfully for some
 of us living elsewhere. Problems include:

  - Use of 12-hour clock.
  - Display of pop data, which not is available everywhere.
  - Units (e. g. wind directions) are not translated.
  - The gust wind speed not available everywhere is used.
  - Windspeed is displayed in mph or km/h, some of us uses other
    units.

 Attaching a patch serie, comment in each patch. In short:
  - localtime: use locale-specific clock in 18-hour forecast
  - precip: Use precipitation (mm) if pop is unavailable.
  - new-grabber-if: simplify interface plugin <-> grabber.
  - wind-source: use average wind if gust is unavailable.
  - wind-units: use knots, m/s, beaufort etc for wind speed.
  - script-fixes*. Updates to use  new interface, not required.
