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.
Changes to:
en, pt,
it, implement ordinal numbers.
eu, stress positions.
es, revert change to [t] and [k]
de, change to sounds "pr" and "kr".

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.

"voicing" attribute is now used in mbrola voice files to set the voice loudness.
SSML commands such as <mark> and <prosody> were ignored if they were inside a multiword group (defined in *_list). This is now fixed so that the command is processed at the end of the group.

Speed.
Only use Sonic speedups greater than x2.
Use custom eSpeak speed settings when Sonic speedup is used.
Mbrola. Look for Mbrola voice also at /usr/share/mbrola/xx/xx
espeakedit. Try "aplay" and then "play" to play sound.

Pad TUNES and frame_t structures to a multiple of 4 bytes.
lang=da, Don't weaken unvoiced stops before pause.
lang=el, Remove final unstressed [a] if the next word starts with [a].

Phoneme definitions. Add "equivalents" table to translate phonemes from a foreign language (eg. English) into the equivalant phonemes of this language. This is used when *_rules and *_list files indicate that a word uses pronunciation rules from a different language.
Unpronouncable words can be recognised by rules in *_rule files. This feature is now used for en, de, es.
Lang=ta, hi. Letter-names for combining vowel characters are distinguished from stand-alone vowel characters by a preceding beep.
git-svn-id: https://espeak.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/espeak/trunk@251 d46cf337-b52f-0410-862d-fd96e6ae7743

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:

*_rules: fix crash for lettergroups numbers greater than 10, and better error reporting.
Languages: eo, jbo: adjust syllable lengths.
Language: en, fix "1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th". But a full ordinal number feature is still needed.
