emacspeak for windows 38.02 is out

[Jarek Czekalski <jarekczek@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everybody!

It took some more time, but more features are included as well. Here is 
the changelog:

38.02
  - Enabled auditory icons through play_sound.exe utility.
  - Not distributing elc files (increased portability with different
    Emacs versions).
  - Added quick-start guide and changelog to readme_windows.txt
  - Provided Uninstall.exe.
  - Added the icon.
  - Moved eSpeak dlls to tcl/bin directory, so that modifying PATH
    be no longer necessary.
  - Added possibility to create shortcuts, so the last page of the 
installer
    (about emacspeak.bat file) was removed.
  - Added emacspeak_raw.bat, to run without user init file.
  - Notable changes in Emacspeak core:
    - a better default for the speech speed rate (speaks faster)

What I am happy with is a small thing - the icon. I used the picture 
suggested by Raman. This is how it looks like: a big yellow (female) 
labrador sits front to us. It fills completely an oval frame, situated 
vertically. It reminds portrait photos from the beginning of the 
previous century. Such frames were definitely in top fashion these 
times. Out of this oval frame sticks a comics baloon, the dog speaks. 
"Complete Audio Desktop" is what he says. I like it from marketing point 
of view. If a dog, that completed a course for guiding people, says that 
an application is good, it must be such! Emacspeak inscription at the 
bottom of the icon. Even if the icon is small, the shape of the dog, the 
frame and the baloon are recognizable. That's cool. When you have "large 
icons" view switched on, the details may be observed, because icon has 
also a bigger resolution included (256x256).

That's it! Happy using!
