* Release 1.3.

* FAQ: Update to clarify that specifying an id won't automatically
provide a city and st to get the accompanying forecast.

* weather: Provided a consistent means for relocating weather.py to
a private location; thanks to Mark Tran for pointing out a conflict
with pyweather in ArchLinux (and presumably other distros as well).

* weather.py: Upped the version to 1.3.

5. Why do I get the wrong forecast when specifying -i or --id?
The -i or --id switch (or the id parameter in an alias definition),
only tells weather(1) what current conditions to retrieve. If you
specify -f or --forecast on the command line (or forecast=True in
an alias) without providing a city name and state abbreviation
(-c/--city and -s/--st, or city and st in an alias), you will
instead see the forecast for the built-in default location (or the
city and st defined in the default alias, if you have one). See
question 3 above for information on figuring out what city name and
state abbreviation to use, and the manual for weatherrc(5) for
information on defining aliases.
