Py-espeak-ng

* Add a `--disable-rpath` option to prevent libtool hardcoding rpaths in the executable.
* Renamed the `hy-arevmda` language to `hyw`, following the 2018-03-30 change to the
BCP 47 language subtag registry making the newly registered `hyw` language code the
preferred value for `hy-arevmda`. This change keeps support for detecting the
`hy-arevela` and `hy-arevmda` language tags.
* Support any length replacement rule strings for the source part of the rule (replacing
from the 'source' string to the 'target' string).
* Add more tests to check the various parts of espeak-ng.
* Various changes to clean up the codebase.

and `-Wunused`).

espeak

The espeak project was developed by Jonathan Duddington.

This history log is for a fork of the espeak project maintained by Reece H.
Dunn. This project was designed to:

1. Make it easier to build espeak on POSIX systems.
2. Keep track of the source code releases that differed from the releases
in the subversion repository.

* Support building the MBROLA voice files.
* mbrola/de6 support for syllabic m and syllabic n.

* Support building with the extended Chinese and Russian dictionary data.
