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.

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.

Languages which use non-Latin alphabets will automatically speak a word of Latin characters as English (or another specified language) without the need for entries in its *_rules file.
synthesize.cpp, SynthOnTimer(): Ensure the sound channel is open if there items still to be spoken, to prevent sound output lock-up.
Reduce warning messages from compilers.

[1.30.04] SSML <audio src=""> now works without using a UriCallback() function, and works with the command-line espeak.
Pitch changes for mbrola are now applied over the first 80% of the phoneme, not over the whole length of the phoneme. This seems to give better intonation for mbrola voices.
git-svn-id: https://espeak.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/espeak/trunk@118 d46cf337-b52f-0410-862d-fd96e6ae7743
