[Xastir] Festival and Weather Alerts ?

[Brian D Heaton]

Is it saying "Weather Alert" and the number or "New Weather Alert" and
the number?  I ask because this alert appears to be defined in main.c at
about line 10293.  The textual portion comes from SPCHSTR009.  In the
English langfile that is "New Weather Alert".

	
In the short term, what if we added another SPCHSTR of "Weather Alerts
Active".  That way on a new Weather Alert it could say --

"New Weather Alert.  22 Weather Alerts Active"

At defined intervals it could say --

"22 Weather Alerts Active"

I can whip up the first pretty quickly and the second after a bit of
thought.
