Ugh. We should just remove support for WU completely. It's not only no  
longer free, but it's completely gone. Replaced by a completely  
different API specifically for owners of personal weather stations,  
with less focus on forecasting. The non-free API is the parent  
company's, The Weather Company, expensive subscription service. Not a  
fit for Horde. Either way, the existing WU driver is useless.

Looks like the other driver I wrote for World Weather Online has also  
done away with their free service.

Looks like it's time to once again change out Horde's weather service  
drivers. Sigh.
