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.
Added rule attribute $noprefix for *_rules files. The rule is not used if a prefix has been removed from the word.
Language changes: en, or, pt, ta.

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'.

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.
