Will Andrews 4f40f7b14d Add festival 1.4.1, (or rather add a module that uses it): a multi-lingual
text-to-speech system for Unix.  Big thanks to Trevor for porting this!

from the NetBSD maintainer:
This voice provides a British English male voice using a residual
excited LPC diphone synthesis method. It uses the CMU Lexicon
pronunciations. Prosodic phrasing is provided by a statistically
trained model using part of speech and local distribution of breaks.
Intonation is provided by a CART tree predicting ToBI accents and
an F0 contour generated from a model trained from natural speech.
The duration model is also trained from data using a CART tree.
This voice can be activated via (voice_rab_diphone).
It is sampled at 8 kHz and conflicts with the festvox-rab16 package
(16 kHz samples).
