Yeah, it's sort of surprising, although the configure script does tell
you about it:

1720    if test "$TEXT2WAVE" = false ; then
1721       w_TTS="liquidtts will use \"false\" as a synthetizer,
1722                             but you can edit it later."
1723    else
1724       w_TTS="yes, using $TEXT2WAVE"
1725    fi
[then it's displayed in the summary at the end]

Note that the script works fine is normalize and sox aren't detected.
The idea of the current scheme is (1) to avoid detection at runtime
(but it's silly, doing a "which" is just as simply as AC_PATH_PROG)
and (2) to allow the user to manually tweak the script (but it's silly
too). I agree to change the script so that it does the detection
himself (still with optional sox and normalize) and the user will
still be able to tweak it if she likes.
