Found one problem - but it doesn't fix anything!!

in weather_com.php, line 48 should have an 'exit;' after outputting the
capabilities from the -t switch.

The problem I still have is that the main plugin refuses to accept my
location for any script other than for current conditions - even though
the new weather_com.php script reports the correct capabilities. As though
the -l switch isn't getting passed across to the script that says it can
handle it!

php I can follow - the C++ in the plugin itself beats me... oh for a
simple printf()...
