The 'dontlist' feature was used by the now removed PrintPhonemesUsed
function to not display that phoneme in the list. It was also only
used by the English phonemetable.
The libespeak files are supposed to be C code, so use C linkage
for all the functions defined in that code when they are being
referenced in the C++ code (i.e. espeakedit).
Speak names of characters U+2800 to U+28FF, Braille dot symbols.
Language option to speak numbers which use characters '0' to '9' with the English voice.
Add some more characters to the vowel and consonant lists for Indian languages.

Amplitude changes now apply also to mbrola voices.
"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.

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.
