 ** Although Yahoo Weather has a metric mode, it
 ** is, unfortunately, incomplete.  The textual forecast still
 ** uses things like "29F" and "15 to 25 mph".  Since this is not
 ** very useful for the rest of us, :-) I wrote this script,
 ** which fixes the problem.  It even tries to do something
 ** sensible when encountering things like "in the upper 30s".
 **
 ** A reasonably good URL to test this script would be:
 **  http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/DAXX0009_c.html

 ** This is a greasemonkey script, intended for use with the Firefox extension
 ** Greasemonkey.
