You're right, I phrased it incorrectly. I had to include another header 
file and edit makefiles to get exo library to work and at the moment I 
didn't feel like doing that. Also I felt that linking against an extra 
library wasn't such a good idea as opposed to running an external 
command the way the weather plugin does.

Greetings,
