This is a driver that on the outside looks like any other WeeWX driver, but on the inside can manage multiple "child" drivers. It allows you to use more than one driver at a time. It has some limitations, but I think it's a way of avoiding the hack of creating a service to run a second (or third) device. Instead, extension authors need only write device drivers.

It is installed like any other extension, and requires no changes to any of the child drivers.

At this point, it has to be considered "alpha," but it's been running reliably on my home machine.
