Thanks, Tom, for your patient introduction into some parts of Weewx.
Well.... I hoped, according to the Customization Guide, I could just use to 
change units for a single report. But, no way...

So, my current PHP solution $current_beaufort could be replaced by 
$current.beaufort. Right? What about gust? Does this work the same way, 
such as $current.gust.beaufort? 
But finally, there is an additional variable $word_current_beaufort, which 
presumably lacks in the observation type. So I will at least still have to 
use the PHP script to assign the lexical description to the bft scale.

Modifying the database schema is definitely new for me. I will have to dig 
into this.
