eflite supports a subset of the dectalk express commands (ignoring the
rest), thus it does not really need any special support from emacspeak
except for the dtk-exp support. eflite is great to get a working
emacspeak easily, no fiddling wiht tcl and most of the time there is a
precompiled package available. Also, it can be linked statically to
flite, thus eliminating even that dependency. The downside is that it
only supports English and no voice locking.
