isn't this just like festival and flite?

This just takes *.raw files of your voice (read the docs... the author has you
cat /dev/audio IIRC to record) and plays them to say the time, date, and uptime
of the system.

I thought it might be thrown in as ear-candy for LinuxWorld.

Just to make mention here (if you haven't noticed already) that this is on the 
back burner till the freeze is officially, completely over. I'll take a look 
at it then.

Tested, installed, works, commited. Sorry it took so long. Credit given to Paul
Belt in the ChangeLog for the ebuild.

Btw, this program is CREEPY. Reminds me of the early days using speech progs in
DOS with only the system speaker. *SHIVER*
