eSpeak - version 1.12 release

[Michael Whapples]

If you would like to see how some other open source synths have included 
sapi5, then you could look at flite (I am not sure if the current version 
contains it, but 1.2 does) contains a directory for compiling flite in 
windows with sapi5 support and registering it properly for use.
