 If it is just a library, I would just do releases from your current
 home page as tarballs then it would be an external dependency for
 speech dispatcher or any other program that wants to use it.

My concern about directly integrating the source into sd, espeak, etc,
is that any time you later decide to make a change, all of the programs
that use it have to be updated, but if you just have programs use it as
an external library, all they have to do is link in the new library.

Well, why not make sonic an external library and just set up speech
dispatcher so that it can link to the library instead of intigrating the
source into it?
