phoneme table for the pronunciations. It allows the base phonemes
to import the IPA versions during this transition phase.

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.

Languages which use non-Latin alphabets will automatically speak a word of Latin characters as English (or another specified language) without the need for entries in its *_rules file.
synthesize.cpp, SynthOnTimer(): Ensure the sound channel is open if there items still to be spoken, to prevent sound output lock-up.
Reduce warning messages from compilers.
