ehofman 4ffb6c0fe9 Melchior FRANZ:
Here's a Perl implementation of a METAR proxy server. Tested on Linux only, but
should work on all Unices, and possibly on Windows, too. Its purpose is to:

- provide METAR data for machines without internet connection
- centralize METAR fetching: one machine in a network runs the proxy, all
  other connect to the proxy
- deliver defined and reproducible weather for educational purposes
- save weather situations for later use in fgfs

Quick instructions to download the world weather for the last 3 hours
and run proxy and fgfs with it (~ 2MB download; for less bandwidth
consumption see the --record mode):

  $ metarproxy --download 3h
  $ metarproxy -v -c &
  $ fgfs --proxy=localhost:5509 --time-offset=-2 --enable-real-weather-fetch
