Changes: * Added CLOCAL to the flags set when initializing the synthesizer port. This is needed for NetBSD, at least. ** from richburridge ** * Adjusted the open_debug() routine so that you have to pass in the basename of the debug file. This means that they can now be easily used from more than one program. * If the user passes in a subprogram to start via the command line, it's now exec'ed with execve instead of execvp, so the environment is passed on as well. * Mentioned the ability to fork and exec a sub-program in the yasr manual pages. * Added a set of TTS_ definitions to tts.h, and adjusted the code to use them. * Added an acclogin directory that only gets built if running on Solaris. This directory contains a small program "acclogin" that gets exec'ed by yasr, to provide a speech-enabled login prompt. See the acclogin.1 man pages for more details.
