[Cialug] Text to speech

[Chris Lanpher]

Well I looked at festival but it is not completely compatible with 
emacspeak.
I found flite and eflite which are based on festival but they are 
working rather poorly.
I will stay vigilant and see what I can do. If you have more 
suggestions, keep 'em coming.
