This is a step in the transition to using a common IPA-based
phoneme table for the pronunciations. It allows the base phonemes
to import the IPA versions during this transition phase.
Fixed crash on re-initializing libespeak.
lang=hu, experimental, if the last two words of a clause (before punctuation) both have capital letters, then make the last word unstressed. This is useful for people names, but may be wrong for other cases.
lang=en-us, distinguish phonemes [aI@] and [aI3] (compare "diet", "tired").
lang=de, fix automatic devoicing of word-final 'b', 'd', 'g'.

espeakedit --compile also compiles the intonation data
Added feature to produce phonemes as International Phonetic Alphabet.
phoneme definitions: Added "ipa" instruction to specify IPA phoneme name.
When spelling as individual characters, calculate the stress position for each character name.

Fix: Speak punctuation option also caused text after [[ to be spoken as phoneme codes even if espeakPHONEMES flag is not set.
Speak sequences of letters and dots as individual letters, and don't speak 'dot', eg. "u.s.a."
Don't announce punctuation in the alternative text inside <audio ... </audio>
Vowelcharts, show the positions of multiple FMT() in vowel phonemes definitions.
Phoneme definitions:
New attributes: flag1, flag2, flag3
New attribute: nopause. Prevents the insertion of a short pause when this phoneme starts a word which follows a vowel.
New conditions: isFlag1, isFlag2, isFlag3, isSibilant.
New statement: InsertPhoneme()
Phonemes: improve syllablic [m-] [n-] [N-]
*_rules: add attributes $p_alt .. $p_alt3, $w_alt .. $w_alt3
*_list: add attributes: $sentence, $atstart
klatt synthesizer: implement echo.
espeakedit, Prosody display: Indicate stressed and secondary-stress syllables.
espeakedit: remember window size and position.
Intonation:
New file, 'phsource/intonation' to define 'tunes' which can be used from voice files.
espeakedit: add Compile -> Intonationm data
Speed: Increase range to 80 to 450, with default=175.
Improve speaking at high speeds.
lang=en: Reduce consecutive unstressed syllables to 'diminished' stress, only in unstressed words.
lang=de: Change 'r' phoneme.

Fix lettergroups: Sort items to longest first.
Lang en-us: Use rhotic [3] in place of [@] when [r] follows.
Voice files: add attribute "fast-test" to experiment with faster talking speeds.

Fix problem in *_rules files. Conditional rules could cause corrupt phoneme strings.
Voice files, "replace" command using an "unstressed" phoneme now ensures the syllable is unstressed.
lang: us, pronunciation changes, use new phonemeeeeeeeee [@/] (at end of words) and [O].
lang: fr, pronunciation changes.

Fix SSML <prosody rate> to allow the maximum rate of 390 wpm.
Fixes to the generation of the dict_phonemes report.
Lang=en-n adjust vowel sounds.
Compile phonemes: automatically assume vowel-break marker in second keyframe of a vowel file if none is set.
Set letter group 'A' to "vowel letters only" for Indic alphabets.
git-svn-id: https://espeak.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/espeak/trunk@195 d46cf337-b52f-0410-862d-fd96e6ae7743
Treat echo-delay = 0 as "no echo", even if ech-amplitude is set.
lang=ru, fix crash for "words" which has produce no phonemes (wg. ":").

Windows: Fix problem with mbrola voices stopping in Jaws screenreader.
--compile. Don't read and report faults in previous *-dict file.
Added phoneme translation for German mbrola "de6" voice.
Fix to phoneme translation for German voices.
lang=zhy. Assume word boundary between an ideagraph and an English word.
lang=pt. Update pt_rules
