Fix bug, use of the command-line "espeakedit --compile" produced phoneme data
in which vowels started at full amplitude instead of gradual increase.
Fix bug: SSML <break time=""> with values greater than 23 seconds were ignored
due to arithmetic overflow.
Phoneme definition files:
Added new function: ChangeNextPhoneme().
Language changes include: da, en, fa, gu, hu, it, nl, pt, ta
Started new language: eu (Basque).

Allow $p_alt1, $p_alt2, etc in pre-conditions. The rule matches if the

all words in the *_list file which don't have the $only attribute.
