Finnish translation and more graphs

I spent almost all of saturday with my favorite text editor joe, working on these two gems.

You can now click on show graphs in the info view of a station, and get some plots on the activity of the station. The number of graphs will depend on the type of the station - if it is an igate, a digipeater, or a moving vehicle. For example, take a look at
http://aprs.he.fi/info/graphs/OH2RCH (a good local rx-only igate)!

While doing this, I enhanced the graph plotting code to do bar graphs, and to scale X better than before (filling the whole range). And added URL watermarks. These enhancements benefit the weather graphs, too.

The other big item was translating the user interface almost completely to Finnish. Language selection is based on your browser preferences (Explorer: Tools / Internet Options / Appearance: Languages, Firefox: Edit / Preferences / Advanced / General / Languages: Choose). These browser settings define the default language of most well-behaving international sites.

The weather page has mobile templates now, too, so it should look better on your phone.
