[DECtalk] New synthesizer Gnuspeech

[Tony Baechler]

Well, it's open source and the "framework" is readily available, so it 
shouldn't be too hard.  I'm not a programmer, so I could be talking out of 
my hat.  There is a shared library, so I would think someone could write 
Python bindings for it.  I don't see SAPI happening any time soon, 
especially since Gnu is generally opposed to Microsoft.  MS Windows and the 
Gnu movement are generally speaking mutually exclusive.
