Building speechd-up

When echoing the name to /proc/synth_name, it has to be 'sftsyn'
(without the tick marks).  There's no DECPC or anything like that.
Use sftsyn.  Also, you have to be sure that speech-dispatcher is set
up properly to use the synth you want.  If I recall your previous
messages, you're using DEC? then there's a file called
dtk-generic.conf in I think, /user/local/etc/speech-dispatcher/modules
(at least that's where it is on my box).  Now if spd-say works, then
that part should be straitened out for you.  At one time or another,
I've been able to use flite and DEC Talk successfully with Speech-Dispatcher.
