Add mbrowrap.cpp to emulate the mbrola library which is available in Windows, but not on Linux. mbrola voices in command-line espeak and libespeak now call mbrola directly rather than generating phoneme information as text. Mbrola phonemes as text is still available with the new --pho command-line option.
git-svn-id: https://espeak.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/espeak/trunk@248 d46cf337-b52f-0410-862d-fd96e6ae7743
