Thanks very much for the lintian cleanups. They have been applied to the
git repository.

I am also a fan of the awb voice which incidentally is the primary author
of festival.
The fact that I am Australian probably accounts for this bias.

I include the following clarification for users viewing BTS:
You used three lines of changes to vox setup.
I suggested only two lines are essential to modify since I deliberately
hardcoded (require_module 'hts21_engine) hidden inside hts21compat.scm.
My reason for this was to minimize the difficulties of changing vox setup
for non-programmers. Either way will work. The two line method
contains a unnecessary "require" at the price of one less line to modify.
Three line modification is more elegant. Users should feel free to use
whatever suits them best.

best regards,
Peter
