Add Withings WiFi Scale Integration

This was mentioned in the context of open sourcing, but I think it deserves it's own topic.

        Its your fault, all is your fault... As of a few minutes ago, there is a shiny black withings scale in my bathroom, patiently waiting for open-source software to be developed :-)

        I'd consider buying one for the convenience, and would gladly buy one through an amazon affiliate setup. Note that I still want to be able to override an entry from it, though. I currently use a Tanita scale but decided I liked the Omron handheld BF meter better so I use that for the BF. Without having a chance to test repeatability etc I've no idea if I'd prefer the withings scale for it or not - therefore don't want to be stuck.

        Yeah, the Amazon commission is close to $10 on a single sale. Not too shabby.

        I'm thinking about getting one too. I could see how an Amazon link could help the site support itself, and that means this one is that much more likely to happen.

        I'd probably go buy a Withings scale if PD supported it. Not that manually entering the data is time consuming, but any little thing to streamline my morning is appreciated.

        To clarify, it would be fantastic if PD could slurp in data from Withings... For those that are unaware, the Withings WiFi scale uploads your weight and body composition (body fat %) to http://my.withings.com/ automagically, but the graphing isn't nearly as useful as what PD has to offer.
