here's how to compile espeak on slackware

[Michael Whapples]

It seems to be something strange to slackware, don't know if it is the way 
the provided packages were created. It just requires on slackware for you to 
add that -lpthread to the Makefile of espeak. May be worth noting what the 
error is and adding a comment about this in the installation notes (possibly 
saying it seems to be the case for slackware).
