The way Steve handles it now is that he has a chart of pre-generated
wind, and you pick a random starting point on the chart, and you roll a
die each turn, on a 5 or 6 the wind changes to the next entry in the
list.
That's a good way to handle it, but the problem was the slowness of
changing (the wind didn't even necessarily change from entry to entry).
