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.
Indian languages: change [t.#].
lang=hy,: Change letter names.
Add voice variant Klatt4 with a sawtooth voicing waveform.
Fix problem in 1.47.10a with 'kr' and 'pr' in some languages.

Added runtime detection of pulseaudio, with fallback to portaudio if pulse is not running. Use build option "AUDIO=runtime" in the makefile.
Phoneme programs. Added condition "isTranslationGiven" to test whether a phoneme has been specified explicitly for a word in *_list.
*_rules files. Suffix rules are now considered only if there is a previous vowel in the word.

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.

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.

<say-as tts:char>, if a character name is not defined, say its English name.
phoneme tables, added beforenotvowel2 attribure for lang=tr
lang=tr: initial draft
