[Xastir] Weather Station Specs/Lacross native code?

Nice!

My deepest sympathies.  My wind sensor gave up the ghost a few weeks ago,
and the temperature/hygro unit stopped registering rainfall last spring.
The wind sensor was the last straw --- without it the unit reports bad
data back to the computer (although the display is fine), and I no longer
have weather data going to xastir.  I hate the WS-2317 (actually, hate is
a timid, wimpy word for the feelings I have).  I'm on the market for a good 
weather station now.

Might I suggest switching which one you have permanently mounted.  The 
LaCrosse 2317 is a toy.

Found this on the CWOP site <http://www.wxqa.com/>, specifically 
<http://www.wxqa.com/resources.html>

I am not aware of any native code that was in the works.  the 
MySQL/open2300db2APRS is the only one I'm aware of.
