[DECtalk] New synthesizer Gnuspeech

[Tony Baechler]

Yes, it was based off old code, but it most definitely runs on a Mac (at 
least based on looking at the source) and most definitely compiles and runs 
on Linux, so I think your fears and comments about buying a machine to run 
an ancient OS are unfounded.  OS X is most definitely still under active 
development.  I suspect speech quality on the Mac might be better with some 
tinkering, but I have no idea.
