I added this. Additionally I removed the temperature unit being
displayed twice, this was unnecessary and looks much nicer in the format
you suggested.

Also thought about this, but I think I will go with the method which was
also used in org-google-weather. It looks like:
* Weather
%%(org-google-weather "New York")
This is much simpler for me, as I'm not so familiar with lisp and the
org-mode api. But I'll have to change the data structure for caching the
data a bit, so it might take a while.

I improved result processing a little bit and added a formatting string
(org-weather-format). You can now also add different temperature fields,
as well as humidity, pressure and wind speed.

Chris
