This build of festival speech engine follows the ideas of
Debian festival build. for information on Debian build see
README.Debian.

* Differerences to Upstream which are common with Debian

- The standard .scm files are located in /usr/share/festival.

* Debian - specific differerences to Upstream, 
  which are not included in this build.

- DTDs and related files are in /usr/share/sgml/festival.
- custom config files /etc/festival.scm /etc/festvars.scm

* ALT specific issues

- /usr/lib/festival is used as libexec dir; in particaular, it is
  also searched for binares such as mbrola.

- /etc/festival/server.scm is server config file (Gentoo inspired). 
  Note that it is loaded directly into the init script, so 
  the server settings are different from standalone festival.

- there is support for russian language in --language switch

--------------------------------------------------

** a cite of Matthias Urlichs <smurf@debian.org> 's README.Debian:

If you want to enable the Festival server code, you need to:

- Set the 'server_access_list' variable to the host names you want to
  grant access to the server.
 
Note that this variable holds a regular expression which is matched
against whatever the client's IP address resolves to (or the address
itself, if address-to-name resolution fails). For local connections,
that is the first name in the '127.0.0.1' line of /etc/hosts; it may or
may not be 'localhost'.

Set 'server_access_list' to NIL if you want to control access by other
means (e.g., if your firewall filters incoming access to TCP port 1314,
or whatever you've set the 'server_port' variable to):

	(set! 'server_access-list nil)
