getting the gnome-speech eSpeak driver to build? (was, eSpeak v1.18 released, for use with Orca/GnomeSpeech)

[Al Puzzuoli]

Hi all,

First of all, many,  many thanks to both Gilles Casse and Jonathan 
Duddington for making this happen!

Is there a parameter that needs to be passed to the autogen script to cause 
the Espeak driver to be built, or should the presence of Espeak be 
autodetected by gnome-speech?

I think I have Espeak 1.8 installed correctly, as I'm able to get it to 
speak system wide when I issue the espeak command; However, the gnome-speech 
driver is not being built.

Thanks in advance for any tips,

--Al
