[wxqc] Has MADIS gone MAD ?

[Philip Gladstone]

It turns out that (in this case), something happened on november 19th 
for this station, and it's barometer readings went wrong.

The thumbs up indicates that (over the last 4 weeks) it has been 
reasonably well behaved.

I'm thinking that if the rating for the last 20% of the analysis period 
(default 4 weeks) is different from the rating for the whole period, 
then I should display the most recent rating, along with an annotation 
that indicates that it is a 'recent' change.

Any thoughts?
