speakup & orca in debian 7

[John G. Heim]

It doesn't look like apt-build works for espeak. I was able to  get it 
to download and  build a deb file for espeak but if I edited the 
Makefile to have it use pulse audio, the compile failed. I could go into 
the source directory and compile espeak myself so I know I didn't make 
any mistakes editing the Makefile. Apparently apt-build does something 
other than simply changing to the espeak source directory and running 
make. But I have no idea what that might be. It just doesn't work.
