Good question. Is this actually supported by the panel (i.e. does it 
look somewhere in /usr/local), or would it be necessary to configure and 
install the panel in /usr/local as well?

@Morten Bo Johansen: If there's no better way, you might try putting the 
libweather.so file into the appropriate directory in /usr where the 
other plugins are installed, like /usr/lib64/xfce4/panel/plugins/, and 
leave the rest of the package in /usr/local. This should work too but is 
of course not exactly what you desire and not a clean solution.
