For those interested, I wrote a quick & dirty Ruby notifier:

#
# Weewar Quick & Dirty Notifier
#
# Query your Weewar headquarters every 60 seconds (configurable).
# If it's your turn play an annoying beep.
#
require 'net/http'
require 'rexml/document'

username     = 'your_weewar_username_here'
password     = 'your_weewar_key_here'
query_period = 60                           # seconds between queries
proxy_host   = nil                          # e.g. '192.168.1.1' if any
proxy_port   = nil                          # e.g. 8080

def weewar_headquarters_xml( username, password, proxy_host, proxy_port )
  result = ''
  Net::HTTP::Proxy(proxy_host, proxy_port).start('weewar.com') do |http|
    req = Net::HTTP::Get.new('/api1/headquarters')
    req.basic_auth(username, password)
    result = http.request(req).body
  end
  result
end

def in_need_of_attention( username, password, proxy_host, proxy_port )
  xml = weewar_headquarters_xml(username, password, proxy_host, proxy_port)
  1 == REXML::Document.new(xml).elements['/games/inNeedOfAttention'].text.to_i
end

while true do
  if in_need_of_attention( username, password, proxy_host, proxy_port ) then
    putc 7.chr
  end
  sleep(query_period)
end
