FYI, the echolot in CVS, which will be the next release, will handle
this a little bit different.  Stats from 12 days ago don't count as much
as yesterdays.

day    |  0  |  -1 |  -2 |  -3 |  -4 |  -5 |  -6 |  -7 |  -8 |  -9 | -10 | =
-11
weight | 0.5 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 0.9 | 0.8 | 0.5 | 0.3 | 0.2 | 0.2 | =
0.1

I think this is better.  Comments?
