[DECtalk] New synthesizer Gnuspeech

[Tony Baechler]

Apparently, it uses its own.  I'll send the intonation file and a sample 
from the main dictionary in a separate message.  With some work, it could be 
modified easily enough without coding.  Of course it would help if you're on 
Linux or Mac so you can actually listen to your modifications.  I don't see 
why it couldn't be compiled on Windows, but it requires CMake.  I don't know 
if there is a Windows port of CMake.
