espeak and slackware

[Michael Whapples]

You should have found the Makefile in the src directory, as that is where 
the source code (the only bit that needs compiling). The line you edited 
(the one containing -lportaudio) is the one, I think lflags was a short hand 
used by Josh to refer to what that line is for. As far as I know, there is 
only one version of espeak source code available (for each release).

If anyone gets stuck trying to compile this, don't forget there is the linux 
binary version available, removing the need to compile espeak.
