In your readme, you state "WX is shorthand for weather in aviation
circles." Not only are the names Ruby WX and WxRuby quite similar, the
your library directory layout, as shown by the require statement
("require 'wx/metar'") uses the directory 'wx', the same as WxRuby.
This means that on some systems, such as those following the
Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (I know, many people hate it), files for
WxRuby and Ruby WX would be in the same folder. Needless to say, this
would be quite a mess. Even without caring for directory layouts, I
think it's expected that require "#{a}" and require "#{a}/#{b} will
refer to related libraries.  Please consider changing the name, and
also the require path and directory layout to match.
