  Looks good to me except for the flite bits. I'll go remind my self how to 
tell QtSpeech to use the flite backend/plugin, but it's definitely optional.

I guess I misled you about how this works. flite is not required for speech 
synthesis with QtSpeech to work.

QtSpeech has 2 plugins on linux, speech-dispatcher is the default, but there's 
also a flite plugin that uses flite directly. (Flite can also be used via 
speech-dispatcher, which makes it more confusing imo, but that's another 
story). So to use QtSpeech you just need qtspeech and speech-dispatcher and one 
of the speech-dispatcher modules. All distributions I have checked install one 
of the speech-dispatcher modules when you install speech dispatcher, iirc most 
use espeak, but there are many.

&tldr; flite packages listed here are optional, not required and wont be used 
unless QtSpeech is configured to use the flite plugin instead of the default 
speech-dispatcher plugin.
