espeakedit: Prosody window now shows the FMT() or WAV() filename
and the standard length of the selected phoneme.
Added the ability to produce speech at different sample rates.
To use rates other than the default 22050Hz, the phoneme data must
be recompiled. This needs the "sox" program to be available.
(sox.sourceforge.net).
espeakedit: Added menu option to compile the phoneme data at a
specified sample rate (rather than the default 22050Hz).
phondata: Includes the value of the sample rate at which the data was compiled.
Language changes: pt.

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.
