[webservices] Beta release of ws-station, please test

[Robert Casey]

	Hi Anthony-

	You can also get the information you are looking for with the ws/ 
availability service, which will indicate data that is actually  
available.  If you want it to show all stations, regardless of data  
being present, then ws/station is the better way to go.
