First patch file needed to correct METAR URL

Flightgear connects to a NOAA web site to get weather data.  This site swit=
ched
to HTTPS-only, but only after the most recent release of flightgear had
hard-coded the HTTP version of the URL into the program.

Two one-line patches restore correct function to this feature of flightgear,
which is also being addressed by the flightgear developers (so this patch
almost certainly will be made obsolete by the next release).

Steps to reproduce:  Run flightgear and start it at any airport.  Enable
detailed weather by selecting Environment->Weather, then clicking the "Deta=
iled
Weather" button and selecting "Live Weather" in pulldown box.=20=20

Expected results:  live weather data for the selected airport will appear in
the dialog box and the "data is valid" box will be selected.

Actual results: It will report that no METAR data is available.

Adding the two files attached to the /usr/ports/games/flightgear/files
directory fixes the problem and restores METAR capability.
