how about start with a validator? invoke it something like this:
weectl config validate [/path/to/config.conf]
it would first try to load the file using configobj. if that fails, try to
explain why (if the configobj messages are not obvious enough). if that
succeeds, then run through a list of sanity checks, like having a lat/lon
somewhere in the ocean, etc.
it should work with a weewx config file and/or a skin config file.
a validator could then be used by any weewx gui that might be developed, or
just as something else to help someone figure out what is wrong.
