Thanks for checking this anyway :-)

This is already done - everything that isn't catched by the regular
expresions are considered a remark. In this case, the problem is, that
I just tried to calculate the relative humidity, without checking that
botht the temperature and dew-point is present.
I've made a beta-1.9.2 for you to play with :-)

Great! I've also found that it's pretty quick at decoding the METARs.
On my P200 MMX it takes about 7-12 miliseconds to decode a METAR. It
takes about the same to do a pretty-print.
When I use a local MySQL database, it takes about 5-8 miliseconds to
retrieve the METAR.
It's actually the initial inclusion and parsing of the files that
takes longest - 120 miliseconds on my machine.

That would be cool - good luck. :-)
